Question

In an octahedral structure, the pair of d-orbitals involved in d 2 sp 3 hybridisation is, d x 2 - y 2 , d z 2, d xz , d x 2 - y 2, d z 2 , d xz, d xy , d yz

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

In the formation of d 2 sp 3 hybrid orbitals, two n - 1 d orbitals of e g set i.e., n - 1 d z 2 and n - 1 d x 2 - y 2 orbitals, one ns and three np np x , np y and np z orbitals combine together and form six d 2 sp 3 hybrid orbitals.
