Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

The molecule in which hybrid MOs involve only one d-orbital of the central atom is :

  1. A XeF<sub>4</sub>
  2. B [Ni(CN)<sub>4</sub>]<sup>2–</sup> Correct answer
  3. C [CrF<sub>6</sub>]<sup>3–</sup>
  4. D BrF<sub>5</sub>

Solution

XeF<sub>4</sub> = sp<sup>3</sup>d<sup>2</sup> <br><br>[Ni(CN)<sub>4</sub>]<sup>2–</sup> = dsp<sup>2</sup> <br><br>[CrF<sub>6</sub>]<sup>3–</sup> = d<sup>2</sup>sp<sup>2</sup> <br><br>BrF<sub>5</sub> = sp<sup>3</sup>d<sup>2</sup>
