Chemistry · Quantum mechanical approach to covalent bonding: Valence bond theory its important features, the concept of hybridization involving s, p and d orbitals, resonance
The shape of hybridized molecule with 2 lone pairs will be:
The shape of \( s p^{3} d^{2} \) hybridized molecule with 2 lone pairs will be:
- A. octahedral
- B. square pyramidal
- C. square planar
- D. tetrahedral
Step-by-step solution
sp3d2 hybridization results in 6 hybrid orbitals arranged octahedrally. With 2 lone pairs, they occupy opposite positions (trans) to minimize repulsion, leaving 4 bonding pairs in a square planar geometry.
