Answer 1

Answer on Question #53714 – Chemistry – Inorganic Chemistry

Question:

Find the hybridization of $(\mathrm{PtCl}_4)^2$ by drawing the proper structure of it.

Answer:

Having electronic configuration [Xe] $6s^0$ $4f^{14}$ $5d^{8}$ $6p^{0}$ Pt(II) has one s, two p and one d orbitals for hybridization.

Therefore, Pt has $\mathrm{dsp}^2$ hybridization, and the corresponding complex anion exhibits a square-planar geometry:
