Think of the reaction shown here as involving the transfer of a fluoride ion from ClF 3

Question:

Think of the reaction shown here as involving the transfer of a fluoride ion from ClF₃ to AsF₅ to form the ions ClF₂⁺ and AsF₆^-. As a result, the hybridization scheme of each central atom must change. For each reactant molecule and product ion, indicate

(a) Its geometric structure and

(b) The hybridization scheme for its central atom.
