    In \[TeC{{l}_{4}}\], the central atom tellurium involves:

    A)  \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridisation

    B)  \[s{{p}^{3}}d\] hybridization

    C)  \[s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}}\] hybridisation

    D)  \[ds{{p}^{2}}\] hybridization

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Key Idea: No. of hybrid orbital \[=\frac{1}{2}\] [No. of e in V-shell of atom +No. of monovalent atoms - charge on cation + charge on anion] No. of        2        3          4           5             6              7 hybrid orbital Type of    \[sp\]    \[s{{p}^{2}}\]     \[s{{p}^{3}}\]     \[s{{p}^{3}}d\]    \[s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}}\]     \[s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{3}}\] hybridisation Hybridisation in \[TeC{{l}_{4}}:\] No. of hybrid orbital \[=\frac{1}{2}[6+4+0+0]=5\] Hence, \[TeC{{l}_{4}}\] shows \[s{{p}^{3}}d\] hybridisation.
