Geometry of the complex compounds usually depends upon?
Correct answer: C. Hybridization of central metal
- A. Type of ligands
- B. Types of hybridization in the elements of ligands
- C. Hybridization of central metal
- D. All of above options are correct
Explanation
The configuration of the complex depends on the type and number of orbitals involved in the hybridization. The hybridization of the central atom in a complex compound determines its electron-pair geometry, which in turn affects the arrangement of the ligands around it, leading to the overall geometry of the complex.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
