Question

$d^{2}s{p}^3$ hybridisation of the atomic orbitals gives

• A. Square planar structure
• B. Triangular structure
• C. Tetrahedral structure
• D. Octahedral structure

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

When are $5$, three $p$ and two $d$ -orbitals belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form six new equivalent orbitals, the type of hybridisation is called $d^{2}s{p}^3$ or octahedral orbitals. The new orbitals are called $d^{2}s{p}^3$ or octahedral orbitals. Out of which four coplanar and two perpendicular to this plane.
