In an octahedral structure , the pair of d orbitals involved in `d^(2)sp^(2)` hybridization is

Options

A. `d_(xy),d_(yz)`
B. `d_(x^2-y^2),d_z^2`
C. `dx_z, d_(x^2-y^2)`
D. `d_z^2, d_(xz)`

Answer

B

Explanation

The d-orbitals involved in `d^2sp^3` or `sp^3d^2` hybridisation are `d_(x^2-y^2)` and `d_z^2`.
