Question

The maximum number of ${90}^0$ angles between bond pair-bond pair of electrons is observed in:

• A. $ds{p}^3$ hybridisation
• B. $s{p}^{3}d$ hybridisation
• C. $ds{p}^2$ hybridisation
• D. $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridisation

Answer 1

The correct option is D $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridisation

${sp}^3{d}^2$ hybridization has an octahedral geometry. The atoms are at ${90}^0$ to each other.
