A low-spin octahedral complex of Fe²⁺ with strong-field ligands will have VBT hybridization:
A) sp³d²
B) dsp²
C) d²sp³
D) sp³
Answer (2)
The low-spin octahedral complex of Fe²⁺ with strong-field ligands will exhibit sp³d² hybridization. This involves mixing one s orbital, three p orbitals, and two d orbitals to form six equivalent orbitals in an octahedral geometry. Therefore, the correct option is A) sp³d².
