In $X e F_{5}^{-}$ and $X e F_{5}^{+}$ , find the sum of axial $d -$ orbital which are used in hybridization of both species.

Open in App

Solution

$X e F_{5}^{-}, X e F_{5}^{+}$ have two $d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$ and $d_{x^{2}}$ in each participating in the hybridization of orbitals. So, the sum of axial d-orbital which are used in hybridization of both species is $4$ .
