An octahedral complex is formed when hybrid orbitals of the following type are involved

  • A
    $s p^{3}$
  • B
    $d s p^{2}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $d^{2} s p^{3}$
  • D
    $s p^{2} d^{2}$

Solution

An octahedral complex is formed when hybrid orbital of $s p^{3} d^{2}$ (outer orbital) or $d^{2} s p^{3}$ (inner orbital) types are involved.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
