Because the ducks have different characteristics and cannot be classified
The mixing of atomic orbitals is called hybridisation.
It's a sp2 hybridisation.
Hybridisation (biology) the process of combining different varieties of organisms to create a hybrid
"A few." Ducks can fly......the problem tells you as much "Then some of the ducks flew away." Ducks fly South for the Winter.
sp3- tetrahedral- note that geometry of molecules indicates hybridisation NOT hybridisation indicates geometry
carbon can have either sp3 ,sp2 or sp1 hybridised orbital depending upon the type of hybridisation hybridisation influences the bond and bond therapy (strength) in the organic compounds

This all depends on what kind of duck you are talking about. The most common duck you will see in and around ponds would be mallards. The scientific classification name for a mallard would be Anas platyrhincos. The full classification for ducks is shown below:Kingdom: Animalia (Ducks are animals)Phylum: Chordata (Ducks have spinal cords)Class: Aves (Ducks are birds)Order: Anseriformes (Ducks are waterfowl)Family: Anatidae (Ducks are in the same family with swans and geese)Subfamily: Anatidae (Finally, this animal is a duck)The next part would depend on what breed of duck you are talking about. Here is the classification for a mallard:Kingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: ChordataClass: AvesOrder: AnseriformesFamily: AnatidaeSubfamily: AnatidaeGenus: Anas ( Mallards are dabbling ducks)Species: Platyrhincos (This duck is a mallard)In comparison, a classification table for a red-breasted merganser would look like this:Kingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: ChordataClass: AvesOrder: AnseriformesFamily: AnatidaeSubfamily: AnatidaeGenus: Mergus (This duck is a merganser)Species: Mergus Serrator (This duck is a red-breasted merganser)
IF3 has 5 electron pairs to "place" in orbitals. sp3d hybridisation gives the 5 with trigonal pyramidal symmetry. .
its a sp3 hybridisation
