Detailed Solution

Energy of an sp2 hybrid orbital is equal to that of an sp3 hybrid orbital is different” is an incorrect statement because for any specified hybrid orbital the energy for that particular orbital is different.

“The percentage s character in each sp3d2 hybrid orbital is different” is an incorrect statement because for same hybrid orbital percentage character is same.

Each pair of sp3d2 hybrid orbitals has a 90° angle between them. The bonds in the central square plane form 90°angles with the axial bonds as well as with neighboring pairs of bonds.

Bond order of C-O bond in CO3-2 is 4/3
