An octahedral complex is formed when hybrid orbitals of the following type are involved

  1. A \(s p^{3}\)
  2. B \(d s p^{2}\)
  3. C \(d^{2} s p^{3}\)
  4. D \(s p^{2} d^{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(d^{2} s p^{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

An octahedral complex is formed when hybrid orbital of \(s p^{3} d^{2}\) (outer orbital) or \(d^{2} s p^{3}\) (inner orbital) types are involved.
