Question

state of hybridization of Xe in cationic part of solid in XeF6

Answer 1

Type of hybridisation/steric no. = (no. of sigma bonds + no. of lone pairs)

it should be sp3d3spX3X223dX3, however according to my textbook it is sp3d2spX3X223dX2 in solid state. That is how it was written(in my textbook), emphasising on the fact that "in solid state it is sp3d2spX3X223dX2". How does solid state of a compound changes its hybridisation

Answer 2
