Chapter 4, Problem 15Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason behind use of $\text{d}$ orbital to form hybrid orbital is to be described.

Name of the period is to be given for elements that do not use $\text{d}$ orbitals for hybridization.

Name of the d orbital that is used by sulfur is to be given.

Name of the d orbital that is used by arsenic and iodine is to be given.

Concept introduction: The atomic orbitals are the place where electrons are likely to be located. The types of atomic orbitals are $\text{s,}\text{p,}\text{d,}\text{and}\text{f}$

To determine: The explanation that $\text{d}$ orbitals used to form hybrid orbitals; the period that does not use d-orbitals; the type of d-orbitals used by sulfur; the type of d-orbitals used by arsenic; the type of d-orbitals used by iodine.
