Question

what is the hybridization of XeOF4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hlo mate.....

The central atom will use its s-orbital, its p-orbitals and as many of its d-orbitals as needed to mix together to make the hybrid orbitals. So, for XeOF4, Xe will need its s orbital, all three of its p-orbitals, and 2 of its d-orbitals, and its hybridization state will be sp3d2, or d2sp3.

Hope it helps... /\°°$°°#plz mark me as brainliest ✌️

I have used a simple never fail approach with moi students, which i call d "n+sigma" rule. Here's wht u do:

Draw d Lewis structure of d compound. Here is one possible structure for XeOF4 :

Looking at d central atom(here Xe) and classify all d electron pairs around it as either sigma, pi or unshared (n). Remember tht single bonds are sigma. Double bond consists of one sigma and one pi bond and triple bonds consist of one sigma and two pi bonds. here sigma=5,pi=1 and n=1.

Add sigma +n=5+1=6.this is d no. of hybrid orbitals tht Xe will need to house these electron pairs so here Xe needs 6 hybrid orbitals.

The central atom will use its s-orbital, its p-orbitals and as many of its d-orbitals as needed to mix together to make the hybrid orbitals. So for XeOF4, Xe will need its s orbital and all three its d-orbitals and it's hybridization state will be sp3d2 or d2sp3.

Thr is another possible structure tht u can draw :but diz will still give u d same ans....

Try diz approach for a no. of different molecules;it works like a charm....

Hope it may help u.... follow me...
