Explain sp³d² and dsp² hybridization. |
| Answer» EXPLANATION:sp3d2 hybridization has 1s, 3P and 2D orbitals, that undergo intermixing to form 6 identical sp3d2 hybrid orbitals. These 6 orbitals are directed towards the corners of an octahedron. They are inclined at an angle of 90 degrees to ONE anotherdsp2 type of hybridization is seen specially in case of transition metal ions. The orbitals involved in this type of Hybridization are dx2- y2, s and two p. The four dsp2 hybrid orbitals adopt square planar geometry. The complex ion [Ni(CN)4]2- involves dsp2 Hybridization | |
