Question:

Complexes of d- and f-block metals can be described in terms of hybridization schemes, each associated with a particular shape. Bearing in mind that the number of atomic orbitals hybridized must be the same as the number of hybrid orbitals produced, match the hybrid orbitals sp2d, sp3d3, and sp3d3f to the following shapes:

(a) Pentagonal bipyramidal;

(b) Cubic;

(c) Square planar.
