Question:

When (n-1) d-orbitals are involved in hybridisation then which of the following complexes are formed?

Options:

Outer orbital complexes

Inner orbital complexes

Double salt

None of these

Correct Answer:

Inner orbital complexes

Explanation:

If d-orbitals are involved in hybridisation that may be either inner viz (n-1) d-orbitals or the outer viz (n) d-orbitals. The complexes so formed by these two ways are known as inner orbital and outer orbital complexes.
