Answer #1

We know that , atomic number of Br = 35

Electronic configuration of 35Br = 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p54d0

BrCl​​​3 : Br has 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p54d0 ( 7 electrons in the outermost 4s24p54d0 shell). Three of them make a single bond with each Cl. 4 electrons are left, making 2 lone pairs. So, BrCl3 has 3 single bonds of Br-Cl and two lone pairs, making hybridization: sp3d.

hence,

Answer = b
