Pick out the incorrect statement from the following.

Options

A. `sp^(3)` hybrid orbitals are equivalent and are at an angle of `109^(@)28'` with each other.
B. `dsp^(2)` hybrid orbitals are equivalent and bond angle between any two of them is `90^(@)`
C. All five `sp^(3)` d hybrid orbitals are not equivalent. Out of these five `sp^(3)` d hybrid orbitals, three are at an angle of `120^(@)`, remaining two are perpendicular to the plane containing the other three.
D. none of these

Answer

C

Explanation

All five `sp^(3)` d hybrid orbitals are not equivalent. Out of these five `sp^(3)` d hybrid orbitals, three are at an angle of `120^(@)`, remaining two are perpendicular to the plane containing the other three.
