When the central atom of the coordination compound is sp3d2 hybridization, the expected geometry will be?
Correct answer: D. Octahedral
- A. Tetrahedral
- B. Square planar
- C. Trigonal bipyramidal
- D. Octahedral
Explanation
The sp3d2 hybridization leads to a central metal that has an octahedral geometry.

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.
