Question

The $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridization of central atom of a molecule would lead to

• A. square planar geometry
• B. tetrahedral geometry
• C. trigonal bipyramidal geometry
• D. octahedral geometry

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The $s{p}^3{d}^2$ and $d^{2}s{p}^3$ hybridization of central atom leads to octahedral geometry.
