Question

The state of hybridisation of central atom in the Xe compounds obtained on complete hydrolysis of XeF4 and XeF6 respectively are
1. sp3 and sp3d
2. sp3d and sp3
3.sp3d and sp3d2
4.sp3 and sp3

​

Answer 1

Answer:

$XeF </p><p>4</p><p> </p><p> is AB </p><p>4</p><p> </p><p> L </p><p>2</p><p>$

in which the Xenon is bonded with four fluorine atoms with 4 sigma bonds and xenon has two lone pairs (4 sigma bonds and 2 lone pairs).

So, the hybridisation is sp3d2.

Geometry is octahedral and shape is square planar.
