d² s p³ hybridisation of the atomic orbitals gives
Options
- Asquare planar structure
- Btriangular structure
- Ctetrahedral structure
- Doctahedral structure
Correct answer
D. octahedral structure
Step-by-step solution
When are 5 , three p and two d -orbitals belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form six new equivalent orbitals, the type of hybridisation is called d² s p³ or octahedral orbitals. The new orbitals are called d² s p³ or octahedral orbitals. Out of which four coplanar and two perpendicular to this plane.
