In Valence Bond Theory (VBT), what are the hybridized orbitals of the metal allowed to do with ligand orbitals?

Options

  1. AThey cannot overlap with ligand orbitals.
  2. BThey can overlap with ligand orbitals, resulting in electron-pair donation.
  3. CThey can form ionic bonds with ligand orbitals.
  4. DThey can form covalent bonds with ligand orbitals.

Correct answer

B. They can overlap with ligand orbitals, resulting in electron-pair donation.

Step-by-step solution

According to VBT, hybridized orbitals of the metal can overlap with ligand orbitals, allowing for electron-pair donation and covalent bonding.
