The hybridisation of xenon atom in XeF 4 is

Options

  1. As p 3
  2. Bd s p 2
  3. Cs p 3 d 2
  4. Dd 2 s p 3

Correct answer

C. s p 3 d 2

Step-by-step solution

The hybridisation of any compound can be calculated as, X = 1 2 [Number of Valence electrons at central atom + Number of mono valent atoms attached to central atom+total negative charge on the molecule-total positive charge on the molecule] X = number of hybrid orbitals ∴ For XeF 4 ( X ) = 1 2 ( 8 + 4 - 0 ) = 6 ∴ The hybridisation is s p 3 d 2
