The SbCl5 molecule has a trigonal bipyramid structure. Therefore, the hybridization of Sb orbitals should be (A)sp2 (B) sp3 (C)dsp3 (D)dsp3 (E)d2sp3

p. s. the answer is D, but someone please explain this to me, thx!

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be

2b2t

explanation:

2b2t

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
