Question

write the XeF4 has bond pairs and lone pairs respectively​

Answer 1

Answer :

★ Hybridisation : Linus pauling in 1931 proposed that the atomic orbitals of similar energies in the valence shell of the same atom combine with each other resulting in more stable set of orbitals called hybrid orbitals. This process is known as hybridisation$.$

★ XeF₄ :

• Type of molecule : AX₄E₂

• No. of bond pairs : 4

• No. of lone pairs : 2

• Total no. of pairs : 6

• Hybridisation : sp³d²

• Expected geometry : Octahedral

• Actual geometry : Square planar
