How many types of hybridisation are possible for complexes with a coordination number of 4?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 3(d) 4This question was posed to me at a job interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of Bonding in Coordination Compounds in portion Coordination Compounds of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT OPTION is (B) 2

Easy EXPLANATION: According to VBT, a complex with CN=4 can have two possible types of hybridisation and hence geometries. The sp^3 hybridisation results in tetrahedral geometry and dsp^2 hybridisation results in square planar geometry.
