Options
- As , p x , p y , p z , d yz
- Bs , p x , p y , d x 2 -y 2
- Cs , p x , p y , d z 2
- Ds , p x , p z , d xy
Correct answer
B. s , p x , p y , d x 2 -y 2
Step-by-step solution
Square planer geometry involve one s, two p, one d orbital having dsp 2 hybridization as below: S + P x + P y + d x 2 - y 2 All four hybridized orbitals in the XY Plane.
