In the valence bond theory, hybridisation of orbitals is an integral part of bond formation.Hybridisation consists of mixing or linear combination of the "pure" atomic orbitals in such a way as to form new hybrid orbitals such as `sp, sp^2, sp^3, sp^3d , sp^3d^2` etc. Now answer the following questions : Which of the following atomic orbitals does not participitate in trigonal bipyramidal hybridisation i.e. `sp^3d` hybridisation ?A. sB. `d_(x^2-y^2)`C. `p_x`D. `p_y`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`{:("Hybridisation","Atomic orbitals","Bond angles","Geometry"),(sp,s+"arbitarary"p^n,180^@,"Linear"),(sp^2,s+"arbitarary"p^n,120^@,"Trigonal"),(sp^3,s+"arbitarary"p^n,109.5^@,"Tetrahedral"),(sp^3d,d_((z)^2)+s+p_x+p_y+p_z,90^@","120^@,"Trigonal bipyramidal"),(sp^3d^2,d_((z)^2)+d_(x^2-y^2)+s+p_x+p_y+p_z,90^@,"Octahedral") :}`
