dsp3 is an inner orbital hybridisation whereas sp3d is an inner orbital hybridisation.When(n-1)d orbital combines with n s orbital and np orbital we get dsp3 hybridisation whereas if nd orbitla participates in hybridisation we get sp3d hybridisation

yes dsp hybridisation is possible.It is found in titanium
