TEMA 11. ENLACE QUÍMICO II | 11.6. HIBRIDACIÓN sp3d y sp3d2

Sp3d hybridization explains the five identical bonds present in the phosphorus pentachloride molecule PCl5. On the other hand, sp3d2 hybridization explains the formation of six bonds in sulfur hexafluoride SF6. These hybridizations also explain the trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral geometries of both molecules.
