Problem

When hybridisation involving

d

-orbitals are considered then all the five

d

-orbitals are not degenerate, rather

d_{x^2-y^2}

d_{z^2}

and

d_{xy}

d_{yz}

d_{zx}

form two different sets of orbitals and orbitals of appropriate set is involved in the hybridisation. In

sp^3d^3

hybridisation, which orbitals are involved? a.

d_{x^2-y^2}, d_{z^2}, d_{xy}

d_{xy}, d_{yz}, d_{zx}

d_{x^2-y^2}, d_{xy}, d_{xz}

d_{z^2}, d_{yz}, d_{zx}
