The statement that describes the chemical reaction is D chlorine gas reacts with potassium bromide to form potassium chloride in solution and liquid bromide<span>. The symbol "Cl" represents chlorine. The symbols in the brackets show the physical state of the substance, (g) is gaseous, (s) is solid, (aq) is aqueous and (l) is liquid.</span>
The valence electron configuration for antimony (Sb) is:
Sb = 5s²5p³5d⁰
In SbCl₅²⁻, antimony has a -2 charge i.e. it has 2 additional electrons
Sb²⁻ = 5s²5p⁵5d⁰
Following a two electron transition from p→d orbital we have:
Sb²⁻ = 5s²5p³5d²
There is a total of 5 unpaired electrons (3 in the p and 2 in the d) which can form five bonds with the 5 Cl atoms.
Thus the hybridisation of Sb in SbCl₅²⁻ is sp³d²
