Question
In $\ce{TeCl4​},$ the central atom tellurium involves:

Answer

Number of hybrid orbitals $=\frac{1}{2}\  ($no. of electrons in valence shell of atom $+$ no. of monovalent atoms $-$ charge no cation $+$ charge on the anion.
Number of hybride orbitals $=\frac{1}{2}(6+4+0+0) = 5$
Hence$, \ce{TeCl4}$​ shows $sp^3d$ hybridisation.
