An atom in a molecule has electrons in 1 s, 2 s, 2 p, 3 s, 3 p, 3 d and 4 s orbitals. This atoms can undergo hybridisations of type

Options

  1. As p^3 d^2, s p^3, p^3 d s
  2. Bd^2 s p^3, p^2 d s, d s p^2
  3. Cs p^3, d s p^2, d^2 s p^3
  4. Ds p^3, d s p^2, d s p

Correct answer

C. s p^3, d s p^2, d^2 s p^3

Step-by-step solution

An atom in a molecule has electrons in 1 s, 2 s , 2 p, 3 s, 3 p, 3 d and 4 s -orbitals. Thus, the outermost most valence shell composed of 3 d -orbitals. 3 d -orbitals can form inner and outer orbital complex depending upon the types of ligands present. It can undergoes hybridisation of type s p^3 (e.g. . [ NiCl ₄ ]²⁻ ), d s p^2 ( e . g [ Ni ( CN )₄ ]²⁻ ), s p^3 d^2 (e.g. [ CoF ₆ ]³⁻ d^2 s p^3 (e.g. [ Cr ( NH ₃ )₆ ]³⁺ ), d s p^3 ( e . g [ Fe ( CO )₅ ] .
