29the actual reason why dsp2 is square planar while sp3 is tetrahedral.. lies in the orientation of orbitals..in dsp2 the orbitals under hybridisation are s, dx2-y2 , px and py they all lie in the x-y plane ..so it is square planar..
while in sp3 the orbitals under hybridisation are s, px, py and pz...they all lie in different planes.. so it is tetrahedral..
1357Yes govind good work
Now can you guys figure out, why all the five bond lengths in sp3d are not equal?
