Solution

The correct option is C

sp3d2


The correct options are:(c)

The explanation of the correct options is:

(c)

  • The hybridization in Xenon is sp3d2because two electrons from the p orbital migrate to the d orbital, resulting in the formation of a sigma bond with F.
  • Hybridization can be predicted with the help of a steric number.
  • Steric number = No. of sigma bond +No. of Lone pairs
  • Steric number =5+1 Therefore, The steric number is 6 So, the hybridization will be sp3d2

The correct options are (c)
