Question

An octahedral complex is formed when hybrid orbitals of the following type are involved

• A. $s{p}^3$
• B. $ds{p}^2$
• C. $d^{2}s{p}^3$
• D. $s{p}^2{d}^2$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Hybridisation	Geometry of complex
$s{p}^3$	tetrahedral
$ds{p}^2$	square planar
$d^{2}s{p}^3$	octahedral
$s{p}^2{d}^2$	not possible
