In an octahedral structure, the pair of d orbitals involved in

d^2sp^3

hybridisation is

Multiple Choice Options

A $d_{x^2-y^2}, d_{z^2}$
B $d_{xz}, d_{x^2-y^2}$
C $d_{z^2}, d_{xz}$
D $d_{xy}, d_{yz}$

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

In the formation of d 2 sp 3 hybrid orbitals, two (n � 1)d orbitals of e g set [i.e. (n � 1)d z 2 and (n � 1)d x 2 � y 2 orbitals)], one ns and three np (np x , np y and np z ) orbitals combine together and form six d 2 sp 3 hybrid orbitals.
