Option [B] is the answer ✔️

Answer 2

s, pₓ, pᵧ, pz, dz² are used.

Explanation:

• The trigonal bipyramidal is a popular shape of the multivalent compounds.

• The trigonal bipyramidal is the shape of the hybridization sp3d.

• The s and the pₓ, pᵧ and pz are normally used.

• But among the five d orbitals, dz² is used.

• This is because only dz² has access to only z axis and it has perfect electron density division for the complex to form.

• It has no densities along x or y axis.

• So  s, pₓ, pᵧ, pz, dz² these orbitals are used.
