A square planar complex is formed by hybridization of which atomic orbitals?
A
s, px, py, dyz
B
s, px, py, dx2 – y2
C
s, px, py, dz2
D
s, px, py, dx y
Answer
s, px, py, dx2 – y2
Explanation
Solution
A square planar complex results from dsp2-hybridisation involving (n–1)dx2 – y2, ns, npx and npy atomic orbitals.
