Question

What is the geometrical shape of the following ?
a)
sp3
Junto a las
b)
spil​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mention the geometrical shapes attained by the following types of hybrid orbitals: (a) sp3, (b) dsp2, (c) d2sp3. Give an example for each.

(a) sp3 hybrid orbitals: This type of hybridization explains the tetrahedral geometry of complexes such as Ni(CO)4 and [Zn(NH3)4]2+.

(b) dsp2 hybrid orbitals: These hybrid orbitals attain square planar shape, dsp2 hybrid orbitals are involved in the bonding of the complexes such as [Ni(CN)4] and [Pt(NH3)4]2+.

(c) d2sp3 hybrid orbitals: These hybrid orbitals attain octahedral shape and explain the bonding in the complexes such as [Co(NH3)6]3+ and [Fe(CN)6]3–.
