Hey there!

No of hybrid orbitals , H = ( V +S - C + A ) / 2

Where H = no . of hybrid orbitals

V = Valence of the central atom = 5

S = No . of single valency atoms = 4

C = No . of cations = 1

A = No . of anions = 0

For PCl4 +

Plug the values we get H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

H =  4 ---> sp3 hybridization

sp3 hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorous in the PCl4+ cations

Answer C

Hope that helps!

Which statement is true about the ionic size of the elements in a group as one moves from top to bottom in that group?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Ionic size increases from top to bottom within the group.

Explanation:

  • Ions are formed when neutral atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s).
  • The ionic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an ion to the outermost energy level.
  • The ionic size or radius increases down the group as the number of energy level increases.
  • Therefore, an ion of an element lower in the group will be larger than the ion of an element higher in the group.
  • For example, an ion of potassium, K+, is larger in size compared to the ion of sodium, Na+ since K+ has more energy levels than Na+.
