Question

Pick out the incorrect statement from the following:

Options

• sp³ hybrid orbitals are equivalent and are at an angle of 109°28’ with each other

• dsp² hybrid orbitals are equivalent and bond angle between any two of them is 90°

• All five sp³d hybrid orbitals are not equivalent out of these five sp³d hybrid orbitals, three are at an angle of 120° remaining two are perpendicular to the plane containing the other three

• none of these

Answer 1

All five sp³d hybrid orbitals are not equivalent out of these five sp³d hybrid orbitals, three are at an angle of 120° remaining two are perpendicular to the plane containing the other three
