Question

A square planar complex is formed by hybridization of which atomic orbitals?
A. `s,p_(x),p_(y),d_(yz)`
B. `s,p_(x),p_(y),d_(x^(2)-y^(2))`
C. `s,p_(x),p_(y),d_(x^(2))`
D. `s,p_(x),p_(y),d_(xy)`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
A square planar complex results from `dsp^(2)-` hybridisation involving `(n-1)d_(x^(2)-y^(2)),ns,np_(x)` and `np_(y)` atomic orbitals.
