Sp^3d Hybridisation

sp^(3)d hybridisation has

In the organic compound CH_(2) = CH – CH_(2) – CH_(2) – C equivCH , the pair of hydridised orbitals involved in the formation of: C_(2) – C_(3) bond is: (a) sp – sp_(2) (b) sp – sp_(3) (c) sp_(2 )– sp_(3) (d) sp_(3) – sp_(3)

The concept of hybridisation has been introduced to explain the shapes of molecules. It involves the intermixing of two or more atomic orbitals belonging to same atom but in or more atomic orbitals beloging to sasme atom but in different sub-shells so as to intermix and redistibute energies to from equivalent orbitals called hybrid orbitals.Depending upon toh enumber and nature of the orbitals involved, the hybridisation may be divided into sp (linear), sp^(2) (trigonal), sp^(3) (tetrahedral), sp^(3)d (trigonal bipyramidal), sp^(3)d^(3) (octahedral) and sp^(3)d^(3) (pentagonal bipyramidal) types. it may be noted that the orbitals of isolated atoms never hybridise and they do so at the time of bond formation. The d-orbital involved in dsp^(2) hybridisation is:

The hybrid state of carbon in C_(2)H_(2) is same as that of carbon in:

Which of the following complexes are not correctly matched with the hybridisation of their central metal ion ? (a) [Ni(CO)_4] , sp^(3) (b) [Ni(CN)_4]^(2-) , sp^(3) (c ) [CoF_6]^(3-) , d^(2)sp^(3) (d) [Fe(CN)_6]^(3-) , sp^(3)d^(2) Select the correct option :

In which reaction, the hybridisation on the central atom changes from sp^(2) to sp^(3) .

Number of sp hybridised carbon atoms in But-2-yne is

The decreasing order of - I effect of the orbitals is : (I) sp (II) sp^2 (III) sp^3 .

The hybridization of central atoms of compounds A, B, C and D are sp^(3)d, sp^(3), sp^(2) and sp respectively. If compounds A and D have same shape like I_(3)^(-) and compounds B and C have same shape like water structure. Then calculate value of "P+Q+R+S", where P, Q, R, and S are number of lone pairs on central atoms of compounds A, B, C and D respectively.
