NEET2004ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
In an octahedral structure, the pair of d orbitals involved in d^2 s p^2 hybridisation is:
Options
- Ad_ x^2-y^2 d_ z^2
- Bd_ x z d_ x^2-y^2
- Cd_ z 2 d_ x z
- Dd_ x y^ d_ y z
Correct answer
A. d_ x^2-y^2 d_ z^2
Step-by-step solution
s p^3 d^2 or d^2 s p^3 are hybridisation for the octahedral geometry. In octahedron, the bonds are formed parallel to the x, y , and z -axes, hence d x^2-d y^2 and d z^2 will be used to form the hybrid orbitals.
