Coordination Compounds Question 6
Question 6 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 2)
Identify from the following species in which $\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{sp}^{3}$ hybridization is shown by central atom:
(1) $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}{3}\right){6}\right]^{3+}$
(2) $\mathrm{BrF}_{5}$
(3) $\left[\mathrm{Pt}(\mathrm{Cl})_{4}\right]^{2-}$
(4) $\mathrm{SF}_{6}$
Show Answer
Answer (1)
Solution
$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}{3}\right){6}\right]^{+3}-\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{sp}^{3}$ hybridization
$\mathrm{BrF}_{5}-\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{2}$ hybridization
$\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{-2}-\mathrm{dsp}^{2}$ hybridization
$\mathrm{SF}_{6}-\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{2}$ hybridization
