What is the hybridization of Se in SeF6?

Answer 1

CSe2 has Lewis structure like this: Se=C=Se (here are valence e- around the Se too, but no need to worry about these), Since it is considered that there are 2 bonds the shape would be linear. Linear corresponds to "sp" hybridization

Answer 2

H2Se is a bent molecule with a bond angle of 91 0. The hybridisation is usually taught as being sp3, but this is incorrect. The bond angle suggests virtually no hybridiation as it so close to 90 0 which is the angle between p orbitals,

Answer 3

The hybridization of selenium in SeF6 is sp3d2. This is because selenium has 6 regions of electron density around it, leading to the promotion of an electron from the 4s orbital to the 4d orbital to accommodate the extra electron density.

Answer 4

sp^3d^2

Answer 5

SP2

Answer 6

Sp2
