Question: In Wilkinson’s catalyst, the hybridization of central metal ion and its shape are respectively are [JEE Main 16-4-2018]
Options:
A) $ sp^{3}d $ A trigonal bipyramidal
B) $ d^{2}sp^{3}, $ octahedral
C) $ dsp^{2}, $ square planar
D) $ sp^{3}, $ tetrahedral
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Wilkinson’s catalyst is $ RhCl{{(PPh _3)}_3}(ph=phenyl). $
It has square planar geometry with $ dsp^{2} $ hybridisation.
