    The \[As{{F}_{5}}\] molecule is trigonal bipyramidal. The hybrid orbitals used by the As atoms for bonding are

    A)  \[{{d}_{{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}},\,\,d{{z}^{2}},\,\,s,\,{{p}_{x}},\,\,{{p}_{y}}\]       

    B)  \[{{d}_{xy}},\,\,s,\,{{p}_{x}},\,\,{{p}_{y}},\,\,{{p}_{z}}\]

    C)  \[s,\,\,{{p}_{x}},\,\,{{p}_{y}},\,\,pz,\,\,d{{z}^{2}}\]    

    D)  \[{{d}_{{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}},\,s,\,{{p}_{x}},\,\,{{p}_{y}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The trigonal bipyramid formation is a molecular geometry with one atom at the centre and 5 more atoms at the corners of a triangular dipyramid. \[As{{F}_{5}}\,and\,s{{p}^{3}}d\] hybridization. In \[s{{p}^{3}}d\] hybridization, it is orbitals which takes part.
