What is features of the compound having sp3d2 hybridization?
Answers
1) sp3d2 hybrid orbitals are directed towards the six corners of regular octahedron.
2) Four out of six hybrid orbitals are lying in one plane while remaining two are directed above and below the plane containing four hybrid orbitals perpendicularly.
3) Geometry is octahedral and bond angle is 900.
Answer:
The main features of hybridization are as under :-
1. The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbital that get hybridised .
2. The hybridized orbitals are equivalent in energy and shape.
3. The hybrid orbitals and more effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic orbitals .
4. These hybrid orbitals are directed in space in some preferred direction to have minimum repulsion between electron pairs and thus a stable arrangement is obtained. Therefore , the type of hybridization indicates the geometry of the molecules .
