Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is "(a) sp³d³ , one".

Explanation:

• Xenon has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

• The type of hybridization in xenon atom is $d^{2}sp^{2}$

• Xenon hexaflouride has 7 electron pairs of which 6 are bonding pairs and one is lone pair

• There is migration of 2 electrons of p to d orbital which forms sigma bond between flourine atom.

• Name of the Molecule formed by xenon - Xenon Hexafluoride

• Its geometry is Distorted Octahedral

• The Molecular Formula is$XeF_{6}.$

• The hybridization is sp³d³

Therfore, the hybridisation is sp³d³ and the lone pair is one.
