\(d^{2} s p^{3}\) hybridisation of the atomic orbitals gives
- A square planar structure
- B triangular structure
- C tetrahedral structure
- D octahedral structure
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) octahedral structure
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When are 5 , three \(p\) and two \(d\)-orbitals belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form six new equivalent orbitals, the type of hybridisation is called \(d^{2} s p^{3}\) or octahedral orbitals. The new orbitals are called \(d^{2} s p^{3}\) or octahedral orbitals. Out of which four coplanar and two perpendicular to this plane.

- In an experiment to determine the temperature coefficient of resistance of a conductor, a coil of wire \(X\) is immersed in a liquid. It is heated by an external agent. A meter bridge set up is used to determine resistance of the coil \(X\) at different temperatures. The balancing points measured at temperatures \(t_1=0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(t_2=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) are 50 cm and 60 cm respectively. If the standard resistance taken out is \(S=4 \Omega\) in both trials, the temperature coefficient of the coil is
