Step by step solution
Step 1 of 3
(a)
Let’s identify the hybridization of atom in and .
The Lewis structure of is as follows.
There are 6 electron pairs on the central Te atom. Therefore, the electron group arrangement for
6 electron pairs are octahedral. Thus, the hybridization corresponding to octahedral shape is .
So, the molecule has six hybrid orbitals in it.
