When the central atom of coordination compound is sp3d2 hybridization, the expected geometry will be
Correct answer: D. octahedral
- A. tetrahedral
- B. square plannar
- C. trigonal bi pyramidal
- D. octahedral
Explanation
Octahedral geometry is consistent with sp3d2 hybridization. In octahedral geometry, the central atom is surrounded by six ligands arranged at the corners of an octahedron.

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.
