Valence Bond theory predicts that tin will use what hybrid orbitals in Snf5 -1​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The ground state electronic configuration of tin is written as; [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p². Hybridization is a concept used to explain the combination of orbitals of appropriate energy to produce suitable orbitals that could be used for bonding.

In forming the compound Snf5^ -1, we have to hybridize the following orbitals on tin; 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals. This gives us a set of sp3d hybrid  hence the answer.
