Question

Which d orbital is involved in sp³d³ hybridization?

Answer

Three d orbitals of the same energy, namely $d_{xy}$, $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$ are involved in sp³d³ hybridization, because it is energy-optimal combination. It has been determined on basis of Schrödinger equation by quantum mechanical calculations.
