Explain the structure of methane.Give an example of a molecule exhibiting `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation. How is it possible for d-orbitals to mix with lower energy s and p orbitals?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Example of molecule exhibiting `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation : `SF_(6)`, it is possible for d-orbitals to mix with lower energy s and p orbital due to d-orbital contraction caused by electronegative atom.
