The $AsF_{5}$ molecule is trigonal bipyramidal. The hybrid orbitals used by the As atoms for bonding are

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$A_{s F_{5}}$ has $s p^{3} d$ hybridisation. In $s p^{3} d$ hybridisation, the $d_{z^{2}}$ orbital is used along with the ' $s$ ' and three ' $p$ ' orbitals to form three equatorial bonds and two equally strong axial bonds for a trigonal bipyramid.
