Question

What is the hybridization of centre atom of xef6 compound?

Answer 1

Explanation:

During the formation of XeF6, xenon has 8 electrons in its valance shell and it forms six bonds with the fluorine atoms. Further, the molecules will have one lone pair and 6 bond pairs. Now if we take the steric number then it will be 7. This can be interpreted as sp3d3 hybridization.
