Passage / Comprehension
Hybridisation theory' used to predict the exact geometry of the molecule after finding the number of bond pairs and lone pair of electrons.
Lone pair electrons in molecule occupy more space as compared to bond pairs of electrons. The geometry of molecule or electrons are in such a way to minimized electronic repulsions
Types of -orbitals which may participate in hybridisation are :-
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
For sp³d³ hybridisation, the orbitals must align symmetrically. The correct set is:
d(x²–y²), d(z²), d(xy) → these allow proper orientation for 7 hybrid orbitals.
Other combinations do not give required geometry
