Solution

The correct option is D

Square planar and octahedral


We know that

1s + 1p 2 sp hybrid oribitals

1s + 2p 3 sp2 hybrid oribitals

1s + 3p 4sp3 hybrid oribitals

1s + 2p + 1d 5sp3d hybrid oribitals

1s orbital + 3p orbital + 2d orbital 6 hybrid orbitals.

So,lets arrange all 6 sp3d2 hybrid oribtal around arbital.

It comes out to be like this.

This is knowm as square bipyramidal or octahedral. [All the angles are 90]

sp3d2 Octahedral

Shape of the molecule having dsp2 is square planar as we discussed in the videos.
