TestHub · Accepted Answer

AlCl 4 ⁻: Tetrahedral, uses sp³ hybridisation → no d-orbitals → (4) SF 4 : Seesaw shape → sp³d hybridisation → involves dz² only → (1) IF 7 : Pentagonal bipyramidal → sp³d³ hybridisation → involves dxy (and others) → (2) XeF 4 : Square planar → sp³d² hybridisation → involves dz² and dx²–y² → (3)
