Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

Identify from the following species in which $\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{sp}^3$ hybridization is shown by central atom :

  1. A $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}$ Correct answer
  2. B $\mathrm{SF}_6$
  3. C $\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{Cl}_4\right)\right]^{2-}$
  4. D $\mathrm{BrF}_5$

Solution

<p>$$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{+3}-\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{sp}^3$$ hybridization</p> <p>$\mathrm{BrF}_5-\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{d}^2$ hybridization</p> <p>$\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_4\right]^{-2}-\mathrm{dsp}^2$ hybridization</p> <p>$\mathrm{SF}_6-\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{d}^2$ hybridization</p>
