Identify the hybridization of the central atom and the orbitals used for each bond in IF 5

Question:

Identify the hybridization of the central atom and the orbitals used for each bond in IF5.
Strategy

The steric number, determined from the Lewis structure, defines the hybrid orbitals needed for a central atom. Use the electron configuration of the peripheral atoms to determine which orbital is partially filled.
