The atomic orbitals of the central atom mix to form hybrid orbitals are one s and three p.
<h3>Which atomic orbitals are used to form hybrid orbitals?</h3>
Pauling supposed that in the presence of four hydrogen atoms, the s and p orbitals form four equivalent combinations which he called hybrid orbitals.
<h3>How many bonds does PF5?</h3>
Phosphorus pentafluoride has 5 regions of electron density around the central phosphorus atom (5 bonds, no lone pairs).
The resulting shape is a trigonal bipyramidal in which three fluorine atoms occupy equatorial and two occupy axial positions.
