Passage / Comprehension

Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals of comparable energy, and the number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to the number of pure atomic orbitals mixed.

From the following given species:

XeF₅⁻, SO₃, XeO₂F₂, I₃⁺, BrO₄⁻, SnCl₃⁻, SO₄²⁻

$x$ = number of species having at least one pπ-dπ bond.

$y$ = number of species in which at least one d-orbital is used by the central atom in hybridization.

$z$ = number of species having a tetrahedral shape.

Find the value of $[\frac{y}{x}]$ .

Answer:

0.50

Solution:

$x = 4$

$[SO_{3}, XeO_{2} F_{2}, BrO_{4}^{-}, SO_{4}^{- 2}]$

$y = 2$

$[XeF_{5}^{-}, XeO_{2} F_{2}]$
