1. Are sp3d4 and sp3d5 hybridizations possible? Why/Why not?
2. What shapes would sd (or sd2) hybridizations take?
a. This type of hybridisation is possible. Ex TaF83- is square antiprismatic shape and type of hybridisation is sp3d4
[ReH9]2- is tricapped trigonal prismatic shape and type of hybridisation is sp3d5
b. The shapes of sd hybridisation gives polyhedral coordinate geometry.
