MCQ
Octahedral molecular shape exists in .......... hybridisation
  • A
    $s{p^3}d$
  • B
    $s{p^3}{d^2}$
  • C
    $s{p^3}{d^3}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

$sp ^3 d ^2$ hybridization has $1 s , 3 p$ and $2 d$ orbitals, that undergo intermixing to form $6$ identical $sp ^3 d ^2$ hybrid orbitals. These $6$ orbitals are directed towards the corners of an Octahedral. They are inclined at an angle of $90$ degrees to one another.
