Question

Consider the given species: ClF₃, SiF 6 2- , PH 3 , XeF 5 - , PCl 4 + , SF 4 , SO₃, XeF₄, IF 4 + , [Ni(CO)₄], ClO 4 ⁻, C 3 S₂. Find the value of ∣2 A − B ∣ . Where, A = Total number of species in which only s and p orbitals are taking part in hybridization of the central atom. B = Total number of species in which a d-orbital with no nodal plane is used by the central atom for hybridization.
