Solution

Hybridization

  • “The atomic orbitals combine to form a new set of equivalent orbitals known as hybrid orbitals. Unlike pure orbitals, hybrid orbitals are used in bond formation. The phenomenon is known as hybridisation”.

dx2-y2 is the d orbital that is involved in dsp2 hybridization.

  • This orbital lies in the xy plane .
  • This type of hybridization takes place in the case of transition metal ions.
  • dsp2 hybridization have square planar geometry.
