Question: Which of the following statement is not correct
[AIIMS 1983]
Options:
A) Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals prior to their combining into molecular orbitals
B) $ sp^{2} $ hybrid orbitals are formed from two $ p $ atomic orbitals and one $ HCl $ atomic orbital
C) $ d^{2}sp^{3} $ hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular octahedron
D) $ dsp^{3} $ hybrid orbitals are all at $ 90^{o} $ to one another
