The d-orbital involved in `sp^3d` hybridisation is

A

`d_(x^2 - y^2)`

B

`d_(xy)`

C

`d_(x^2)`

D

`d_(zx)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The shape of `sp^3 d` hybridized molecule is trigonal bipyramidal. The three planar triangular hybrid orbitals may be assumed to be formed from one s- and two p-orbitals. So the remaining `p_z` - orbital may combine with` d_(z^2)` (aligned along z- axis) to form two axial hybrid orbitals that result in the formation of `sp^3 d` hybridized orbitals.

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.
