<span>A. positive ions : Positive ions are formed when a neutral atom loses electrons. When neutral atoms lose electrons, the ions formed are always smaller than the neutral atoms.

B. negative ions : Yes. When the neutral atoms gain electrons to form negative ions, they always become larger, because the addition of one electron increases the electrostatic repulsion of the outermost electrons, forcing them to drift apart.

C. cations No. Cation is the same that positive ion.

D. none of the above </span>

The electron-domain geometry of a sulfur-centered compound is trigonal bipyramidal. The hybridization of the central sulfur atom

VMariaS [17]

The hybridization state of the central sulfur atom is sp3d.

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory describes the shape of molecules in terms of the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

There are certain molecular shapes that are associated with certain hybridization states of the central atom. Since the central sulfur atom is trigonal bipyramidal, the hybridization state is sp3d.

Answer: option C. the number of electrons in the atom.

Given that the charge of a proton is the same that the charge of an electron, to be neutral the number of protons has to be the same than the number of electrons.
