Where is the number of valence electrons of the central atom, is the monovalent atoms attached to the central atom, is the positive charge, and represents the negative charge.
Step 2: Hybridization of Xenon tetrafluoride :
In , the central atom is and it has electrons in its valence shell and monovalent atoms are attached to it.
By using the above formula, the hybridization of
The hybridization number is . So, the hybridization of is .
Hence, the hybridization of Xenon tetrafluoride is .
