Answer 1

A square planar complex is formed by hybridisation of which

atomic orbitals?

(a) s, pₓ , pᵧ , dᵧz

(b) s, pₓ, pᵧ, dₓ²₋ᵧ²

(c) s, pₓ, pᵧ, dz²

(d) s, pᵧ, pz , dₓᵧ

Answer 2

s px py and dx2y2 are the orbitals that participate in the square planar geometry.

Explanation:

• The direction of the chelates in a complex completely depend on the type of hybridisation that is taking place in the chelate.

• The square planar geometry is the characteristic feature of the square planar geometry.

• The square planar geometry is the inner orbital complex.

• In the inner orbital complexes, the central atom takes the d from inner shell, and s and 2 p from outer shell.

• To make the complex in a single plane, only dx2y2 will be applicable as it's planar.

• As dx2y2 is taken, then among p orbitals, the px and py is to be taken to keep the complex in same plane.

• Thus the participating orbitals are s, px py and dx2y2
