Question

$d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital is involved in which the following hybridization:

• A. ${sp}^3$
• B. ${sp}^3{d}^2$
• C. ${sp}^3{d}^3$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B ${sp}^3{d}^2$
C ${sp}^3{d}^3$

$s{p}^3{d}^2$ involves $d{z}^2$ and $d{x}^2{y}^2$ whereas $s{p}^3{d}^3$ uses $d{x}^2{y}^2$ , $d{z}^2$ and $dxy$
