An atom in a molecule has electrons in 1s, 2s,2P,3s,3p,3d and 4s orbitals. This atoms can undergo hybridisations of type

Options

A. `sp^(3)d^(2),sp^(3),P^(3)ds`
B. `d^(2)sp^(3),p^(2)ds,dsp^(2)`
C. `sp^(3),dsp^(2),d^(2)sp^(3)`
D. `sp^(3),dsp^(2),dsp`

Answer

C

Explanation

An atom in a molecule has electrons in 1s , 2s 2p,3s,3p,3d and 4s orbitals . Thus the outermost most valence shell composed of 3d orbitals . 3d -orbitals can form inner and outer orbital complex depending upon the types of ligands present. It can undergoes hybridisation of type `sp^(3)`
`(e.g[NiCI_(4)]^(2-)),dsp^(2)(e.g[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)),sp^(3)d^(2)`
`(e.g. [CoF_(6)]^(3-)d^(2)sp^(3)(e.g[NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)), dsp^(3) (e.g.[Fe(CO)_(5)]`
