Q14 / 225 · JEE Main 2004 · Chemistry

The maximum number of $90^{\circ}$ angles between bond pair of electrons is observed in

  • A
    dsp ${ }^3$ hybridization
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2$ hybridization
  • C
    $\mathrm{dsp}^2$ hybridization
  • D
    $\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}$ hybridization

Solution

$\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2$ hybridisation confirms to octahedral or square bipyramidal configuration $\therefore$ all the bond angles are $90^{\circ}$ in the structure

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