An octahedral complex is formed when hybrid orbitals of the following type are involved

A

(a) `sp^3`

B

(b) `dsp^2`

C

(c) `sp^3d^2`

D

(d) `sp^3d`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When one (s), three (p) and two (d) hybrid orbitals are involved then it forms octahedral complex.
`s+3p+2d=sp^3d^2`

An octahedral complex is formed when hybridisation is

Octahedral Complexes

The bond angle formed by different hybrid orbitals are in the order

In what repects do inner orbital octahedral complexes differ from outer orbital octahedral complexes

An octahedral complex of Co^(3+) is diamagnetic . The hybridisation involved in the formation of the complex is :

According to hybridisation theory, the % s-character in sp, sp^(2) and sp^(3) hybrid orbitals is 50, 33.3 and 25 respectively, but this is not true for all the species. When theta is the bond angle between equivalent hybrid orbitals then % s and p-character in hybrid orbitals (when only s and p-orbitals are involved in hybridisation) can be calculated by the following formula : costheta=(S)/(S-1)=(P-1)/(P) Q. Correct order of P-P bond length in the following compound is :
