Question

A square planar complex is formed by hybridisation of which atomic orbital?

• A. $s,p_x,p_y,d_{yz}$
• B. $s,p_x,p_y,d_{x^2-y^2}$
• C. $s,p_x,p_y,d_z$
• D. $s,p_x,p_y,d_{xy}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $s,p_x,p_y,d_{x^2-y^2}$

Square planar geometry is shown by the compound which have $ds{p}^2$ hybridization for central atom.

Thus, $S,Py,Px$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbitals forms square Planar Complex
