The sp^(3)d^(2)-hybridisation of central...

The `sp^(3)d^(2)`-hybridisation of central atom of a molecule would lead to -

A

square planar geometry

B

tetrahedral geometry

C

trigonal bipyramidal geometry

D

octahedral geometry

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
One s, three p, and two d-orbitals mix up togethe to form six equivalennt `sp^(3)d^(2)`-hybrid orbitals. The molecules, in which these orbitals are involved, have octahedral geometry.
