X e O 4 molecule is tetrahedral having ‘n’ number of p π - d π bonds. The value of ‘n’ is
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
Xenon undergoes s p 3 hybridization In the fourth excited state xenon atom, has 8 unpaired electrons One s and three p orbital undergo sp 3 hybridization. Four s p 3 hybrid orbitals form four σ bonds with oxygen atoms. They are σ sp 3 − p . Four pπ – dπ bonds are also formed with oxygen atoms by the unpaired electrons.
