In an octahedral structure, the pair of orbitals involved in d2sp3 hybridisation is
- Ad x2y2, d z2
- Bd xz, d x2y2
- Cd z2, d xz
- Dd xy, d yz
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
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 and form six d2sp3 hybrid orbitals.
