What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between Cl and F in chlorine trifluoride, ClF3

Chemistry

Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

sp³d¹ hybridization

Explanation:

Given Cl as central element with three F substrates ...

The VSEPR structure indicates 5 hybrid orbitals that contain 2 diamagnetic orbitals (non-bonded e⁻-pairs) and 3 paramagnetic orbitals (single, non-paired electron for covalent bonding with fluorine) giving a trigonal bypyrimidal parent with a T-shaped geometry.

Valence bond theory predicts the following during bonding:

Cl:[Ne]3s²3p²p²p¹3d⁰

=> [Ne]3s²p²p¹p¹d¹

=> [Ne]3(sp³d)²(sp³d)²(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹

giving 3 ( [Cl](sp³d) - [F]2p¹ ) sigma bonds and 2 non-bonded pairs on Cl.

Note the following images:

Non-bonded electron pairs are in plane of parent geometry and Fluorides covalently bonded to central element Chloride forming the T-shaped geometry.

Answer:

Check Explanation

Explanation:

In this case the Mushroom would get energy from decomposing dead plants and animals in the soil/ground

The plant would get energy from the sun (simplified)

the rabbit would get energy from eating the plant

in this case the wolf would energy from eating the rabbit but in a normal setting the wolf could get energy from eating any animal
