Coordination Compounds Question 6
Question 6 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 2)
Identify from the following species in which $d^{2} sp^{3}$ hybridization is shown by central atom:
(1) $\left[Co\left(NH _3\right) _6\right]^{3+}$
(2) $BrF _5$
(3) $\left[Pt(Cl) _4\right]^{2-}$
(4) $SF _6$
Show Answer
Answer (1)
Solution
$\left[Co\left(NH _3\right) _6\right]^{+3}-d^{2} sp^{3}$ hybridization
$BrF _5-sp^{3} d^{2}$ hybridization
$\left[PtCl _4\right]^{-2}-dsp^{2}$ hybridization
$SF _6-sp^{3} d^{2}$ hybridization
