As we have learned

Hybridisation -

sp3d2 - square bipyramidal or octahedral 

d2sp3 - octahedral 

sp3 - tetradedral 

dsp2 - square planar

- wherein

sp3d2 - outer complex

d2sp3 - inner complex

sp3 - [Ni(Cl)_{4}]^{2-}

dsp2 - [Pt(CN)_{4}]^{2-}

 

The wilikinson catalyst is [Rh Cl(pph_{3})_{3}]  and the hybridisation and its shape are dsp^{2}

and square planer respectively 

 

 

 

 

 


Option 1)

sp^{3}d , trigonal bipyramidal

This is incorrect

Option 2)

sp^{3},tetrahedral

This is incorrect

Option 3)

dsp^{2},square planar

This is correct

Option 4)

d^{2}sp^{3},octahedral

This is incorrect
