Question

The hybridisation of atomic orbitals of central atom "$Xe$" in $Xe{O}_4$, $Xe{O}_2{F}_2$ and $XeO{F}_4$ respectively:

• A. $s{p}^3$, $s{p}^3{d}^2$, $s{p}^3{d}^2$
• B. $s{p}^{3}d$, $s{p}^{3}d$, $s{p}^3{d}^2$
• C. $s{p}^3$, $s{p}^3{d}^2$, $s{p}^{3}d$
• D. $s{p}^3$, $s{p}^{3}d$, $s{p}^3{d}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $s{p}^3$, $s{p}^{3}d$, $s{p}^3{d}^2$

$Xe{O}_4,Xe{O}_2{F}_2$ and $XeO{F}_4$ have $s{p}^3,s{p}^{3}d$ and $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridization.
