In an octahedral structure , the pair of d orbitals involved in `d^(2)sp^(2)` hybridization isA. `d_(x^2-y^2), d_z^2`B. `d_(xz), d_(x^2-y^2)`C. `d_z^2, d_(xz)`D. `d_(xy),d_(yz)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
In the formation of `d^2sp^3` hybrid orbitals , two (n-1) d-orbitals of `e_g` set, i.e. (n-1) `d_z^2` and (n-1)`d_(x^2-y^2)` orbitals, one ns and three np (`np_x, np_y, and np_z)` orbitals combine together.
