Question

explain sp3 d2 hybridization with on example
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sp3d2 hybridization has 1s, 3p and 2d orbitals, that undergo intermixing to form 6 identical sp3d2 hybrid orbitals. These 6 orbitals are directed towards the corners of an octahedron. They are inclined at an angle of 90 degrees to one another.

Answer 2

• In SF6, one electron each from 3s and 3p orbitals is promoted to 3d orbitals The six orbitals get hybridized to form six sp3d2 hybrid orbitals. Each of these sp3d2 hybrid orbitals overlaps with 2p orbital of fluorine to form S–F bond. Thus, SF6 molecule has octahedral structure.
