Question

What type of hybridization (according to valence bond theory) does fe exhibit in the complex ion, [fe(h2o)4(br)2]+? what type of hybridization (according to valence bond theory) does fe exhibit in the complex ion, [fe(h2o)4(br)2]+? sp3 d2sp3 d2sp d2sp2 dsp3?

Answer 1

We have 6 pairs of electrons here and the shape is Octahedral so the correct type of hybridization is:   d²sp³
