Which type of hybridization of Xe is involved in X e O F 4 molecule?
Options
- As p 3
- Bs p 3 d
- Cs p 3 d 2
- Ds p 3 d 3
Correct answer
C. s p 3 d 2
Step-by-step solution
The Lewis structure of X e O F 6 is The orientation of six electron pairs is octahedral. To accomodate six electron pairs in octahedral, we require six hybrid orbitals, which are obtained, if Xe atom is s p 3 d 2 -hybridized.
