X e O 4 molecule is tetrahedral having 'x' number of p π - d π bonds. The value of ' x ' is.
Correct answer
4
Step-by-step solution
Xenon undergo s p 3 hybridization. In the fourth excited state xenon atom, has 8 unpaired electrons One s and three p orbital undergo s p 3 hybridization. Four s p 3 hybrid orbitals form four σ bonds with oxygen atoms. They are σ s p 3 – p . Four p π - d π bonds are also formed with oxygen atoms by the unpaired electrons.
