Question

In an octahedral structure, the pair of d orbitals involved in d2sp3 -hybridisation is (A) dx2 -y2,dZ2 (B) dxz,dx2-y2 (C) dz2 ,dxz (D)  dxy ,dyz

In the formation of d2sp3 hybrid orbitals, two (n - 1) d-orbitals of eg set, i.e. (n-1) dz2 and (n-1) dx2-y2 orbitals, one ns and three np (npx, npy and npz .) orbitals combine together.

Q. In an octahedral structure, the pair of $d$ orbitals involved in $d^{2} s p^{3}$ -hybridisation is

$d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}, d_{Z^{2}}$

$d_{x z}, d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$

$d_{z^{2}}, d_{x z}$

$d_{x y}, d_{yz}$

In the formation of $d^{2} s p^{3}$ hybrid orbitals, two $(n - 1) d$ -orbitals of eg set, i.e. $(n - 1) d_{z^{2}}$ and $(n - 1) d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$ orbitals, one $n s$ and three $n p$ ( $n p_{x}, n p_{y}$ and $n p_{z}$ .) orbitals combine together.
