Which statement about hybridization in the following is not correct?

Options

  1. AHybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals prior to their combining into molecular orbitals
  2. Bs p 2 hybrid orbitals are formed from two p atomic orbitals and one S atomic orbital
  3. Cd 2 s p 3 hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular octahedron
  4. Dsp 3 d hybrid orbitals are all at 9 0 o to one another

Correct answer

D. sp 3 d hybrid orbitals are all at 9 0 o to one another

Step-by-step solution

Compound with sp 3 d hybridization are trigonal bipyramidal, hence sp 3 d hybrid orbitals have bond angles of 90 o , 180 o and 12 0 o
