Which d orbitals are involved in sp3d2 and d2sp3 hybridization respectively ?

Asked by anirbanbag81 3rd January 2018, 5:54 PM

Answer:
sp3d2 or d2sp3 are hybridisation for the octahedral geometry.
In octahedron, the bonds are formed parallel to the x, y, and z-axes, hence dx2-dy2 and dz2 will be used to form the hybrid orbitals.
