5In atoms with n=3 or larger, the d orbitals can also be hybridized. In molecules
with five molecular orbitals, five atomic orbitals are mixed:
___ + ___ + ___ + ___ + ___
3
This will give trigonal bipyramidal geometry and is called dsp
hybridization.
Finally, molecules with octahedral geometry, will have ____ molecular orbitals.
This hybridization is called ________ .
