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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{array}{|c|l|} \hline Hybridisation & Geometry of complex \\ \hline \mathrm{sp}^{3} & tetrahedral \\ \mathrm{dsp}^{2} & square planar \\ \mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{sp}^{3} & octahedral \\ \mathrm{sp}^{2} \mathrm{~d}^{2} & not possible \\ \hline \end{array}
