Question

The pair of d orbitals involved in octahedral structure having d 2 s p 3 hybridization, are, d x y , d y z, d x 2 , d x z, d x 2 - y 2 , d z 2, d x z , d x 2 - y 2

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

In the formation of d 2 s p 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 [ n p x , n p y and n p z ] orbitals combine together and form six d 2 s p 3 hybrid orbitals.
