Solution

The correct option is C $s p^{3} d^{2}$
In $X e F_{4}$ , central atom Xe contains
2 lone pair and 4 bond pair [σ bond]
so,
steric number = no. of lone pair + number of σ bond
= 2 + 4 = 6
Thus, hybridization is $s p^{3} d^{2}$

The hybridization of xenon atom in XeF4 is

The correct option is C sp3d2In XeF4, central atom Xe contains 2 lone pair and 4 bond pair [σ bond] so, steric number = no. of lone pair + number of σ bond = 2 + 4 = 6 Thus, hybridization is sp3d2
