spºdhybridization is observed in which of the following molecules
(A) CIF:
(B) XeF2
(C) SF
(D) All the above
Answers
Explanation:
Xe has an electronic configuration of 5s
2
5p
6
In XeF
2
, there are two bonding pairs and three lone pairs of electrons. So acc. to VSEPR theory, the structure would be trigonal bypyramidal to avoid electron pair repulsions.(sp
3
d)
In XeF
4
, the structure would be square planar. There are four pairs of bonding electrons and two lone pairs in the molecule. The hybridisation would be sp
3
d
2
XeF
6
has a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry due to sp
3
d
3
hybridization. One trans position is occupied by a lone pair giving a distorted octahedral shape.
XeOF
2
has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry due to sp
3
d hybridization. Two equatorial positions are occupied by lone pairs of electrons giving a Tshape to molecule.
XeOF
4
has a octahedral geometry due to sp
3
d
2
hybridization. One trans position is occupied by a lone pair giving pyramid shape to the molecule.
Thus XeOF
2
& XeF
2
have sp
3
d hybridization.
