The pair of compounds having the same hybridisation for the central at...
Explanation:
Hybridization is the process of combining atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals suitable for bonding. The type of hybridization that occurs in a compound depends on the geometry of the molecule and the number of bonding and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom.
In the given options, we need to identify the pair of compounds that have the same hybridization for the central atom.
a) [Co(NH3)6]3 and [Co(H2O)6]3: Both the compounds have a central cobalt atom surrounded by six ligands. In both cases, the cobalt atom is in an octahedral geometry. The hybridization of the cobalt atom in both compounds is d2sp3.
b) [NiCI4]2- and [PtCI4]2-: Both the compounds have a central metal atom surrounded by four ligands. In both cases, the metal atom is in a tetrahedral geometry. The hybridization of the metal atom in both compounds is sp3.
c) [Cu(NH3)4]2 and [Zn(NH3)4]2: Both the compounds have a central metal atom surrounded by four ligands. In both cases, the metal atom is in a tetrahedral geometry. However, the hybridization of the copper atom in [Cu(NH3)4]2 is dsp2, while the hybridization of the zinc atom in [Zn(NH3)4]2 is sp3.
d) [Cu(NH3)4]2 and [Ni(NH3)4]2: Both the compounds have a central metal atom surrounded by four ligands. In both cases, the metal atom is in a square planar geometry. The hybridization of the copper atom in [Cu(NH3)4]2 is dsp2, while the hybridization of the nickel atom in [Ni(NH3)4]2 is sp3.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A', as both [Co(NH3)6]3 and [Co(H2O)6]3 have the same hybridization for the central cobalt atom, which is d2sp3.
