The metal d-orbitals that are directly facing the ligands in 
are
A
and 
B
and 
C
and 
D
and 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The hybidization will be 
and geometry will be octahedral. In octahedral complex, ligands approach the metal along 
and 
axes, and the d-orbitals whose lobes are oriented in 
and 
axes are 
and 
. Hence, they face the ligands directly.
