Why only dz2 combines in sp3d hybridization?
the sp3d is a trigonal bipyramid we need three equitorial at 60 degrees apart, that’s sp2, that is thought of as being the S, Px, & Py we also need 2 axial that are perpindicular to that triangular center, that’s thought of as being the Pz which is perpindicular to the Px & Py the D that best fits to be the opposite axial is another Z,,, the Dz2 try this http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cach… “4. sp3 d Hybridization Atoms which have d orbitals available to them can also use them to form other types of hybrid orbitals. The hybridization of one s, one d, and three p orbitals on a central atom gives r
