Question

The maximum number of ${90}^{\circ }$ angles between bond pair-bond pair of electron is observed in :

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

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$s{p}^3{d}^2$ - hybridization

$s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridization leads for octahedral geometry having 3 bonds at ${180}^0$ and 12 bonds at ${90}^0.$ which has a maximum number of ${90}^o$ angle.
