Which statement is wrong?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
dsp3ds{p^3}-hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular tetrahedron
The correct answer is D (dsp3ds{p^3}-hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular tetrahedron) because dsp3ds{p^3} hybridization leads to a square planar or other geometries, not a tetrahedral geometry. Tetrahedral geometry is associated with sp3sp^3 hybridization.
