Identify from the following species in which d 2 sp 3 hybridization is shown by central atom:
Options
- ACo NH 3 6 3 +
- BBrF 5
- CPt ( Cl ) 4 2 -
- DSF 6
Correct answer
A. Co NH 3 6 3 +
Step-by-step solution
Co NH 3 6 + 3 - d 2 sp 3 hybridization In Co NH 3 6 3 + , Co is in + 3 oxidation state with the configuration 3 d 6 . In the presence of NH 3 a strong ligand, the 3 d electrons pair up leaving two d-orbitals empty. Hence, the hybridization is d 2 sp 3 forming an inner orbital octahedral complex.
