Question

Pick out the incorrect statement from the following

$sp$ hybrid orbitals are equivalent and are at an angle of $180^{\circ}$ with each other.

$sp^2$ hybrid orbitals are equivalent and bond angle between any two of them is $120^{\circ}$ .

$sp^3d^2$ hybrid orbitals are equivalent and are oriented towards comers of a regular octahedron.

$sp^3d^3$ hybrid orbitals are not equivalent.

Answer

$sp^3d^3$ hybrid orbitals are not equivalent.

Explanation

Solution

$dsp ^{2}$ hybrid orbitals are equivalent with a bond angle of $90^{\circ}$ between the two atoms Angle between any two $dsp ^{2}$ hybrid orbitals can be $90^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$
