Question

The maximum number of 90° angles between bond pair-bond pair of electrons is observed in

• A. $sp^{3}d^{2}hybridisation$
• B. $sp^{3}$ $dhybridisation$
• C. $dsp^{3}$ $hybridisation$
• D. $dsp^{2}$ $hybridisation$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The maximum number of 90° angles between bond pair–bond pair of electrons is observed in $sp^{3}d^{2}$ hybridisation. This molecule is made up of 6 equally spaced $sp^{3}d^{2}$ hybrid orbitals arranged at $90^\circ $ angles.
