sp^3d or dsp^3
Does it matter which way you write a hybridization with 5 regions of electron density? Is either way of writing it correct?

Re: sp^3d or dsp^3
I had the same question last week. The order doesn't matter, but I believe writing the d at the end is preferred.

Re: sp^3d or dsp^3
Does dsp^3 mean that the s and p orbitals used are from a shell higher than the d? For example, when 3d, 4s, and 4p are involved in hybridization we say dsp^3?
