Answer: The four sp^3 hybridized orbitals on Sb makes up the sigma bonds between Sb and F in antimony(iii) fluoride ,SbF_3

Explanation:

According to VESPR theory:

Number of electrons around the central atom : \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

V = number of valence electrons

N = number of neighboring atoms

C = charge on cation

A = charge on an anion

In antimony(III) fluoride ,

Antimony being central atom: V= 5,N =3,C=0,A=0

Number of electrons : \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]=4

Number of electrons around the central atom are 4 which means that SbF_3 molecule has four sp^3 hybridized orbitals.

prisoha [69]
Three of the functions of proteins are as antibodies, as enzymes and as messengers. As antibodies, they protect the cells from diseases ie they fight diseases. As enzymes, they regulate the chemical reactions within cells, and thirdly they transmit signals as messengers such as hormones do in co-ordinating biological processes. Proteins are so diverse because of their unique 3-D structures which their polymers form from the 20 amino acids available as their building blocks.
