Question

XeF2 molecules is linear molecule but it is sp3s hybridized. why​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hybridisation can be calculated by the sum of bonds and lone pairs

in XeF2, there are 2 bonds and 3 lone pairs

the sum of bonds and lone pairs is 5

so,, hybridisation is sp3d

Explanation:

more info

here is relation between sum of lone pairs and bonds and hybridisation

2= sp

3= sp2

4= sp3

5= sp3d

6= sp3d2
