hey

in sp3 there will be only sigma bonds

where as it may be different like pi bond ........

dsp2 takes in complex formations while sp3 takes place in normal compounds.

in dsp2 first d-orbitals take part in hybridisation due to the availability of vacant d-orbitals.

tell me whether i am correct or not?

reply is must.

dps2 takes place becoz of the vacant d orbitals also such an arrangement gives a low spin complex which is more stable than a high spin one as the number of lone pair electrons is less ur rit

sorry for mistyping its unpaired electrons not lone pair

dsp2 is found in outer orbital complexes. structure would usually be square planar and it would usually take place with a weak field ligand
sp3 on the other hand results in a tetrahedral structure and could also occur in complexes with strong feild ligands.
