The number of $p \pi-d \pi$ 'pi' bonds present in $\mathrm{XeO}_3$ and $\mathrm{XeO}_4$ molecules,…

The number of $p \pi-d \pi$ 'pi' bonds present in $\mathrm{XeO}_3$ and $\mathrm{XeO}_4$ molecules, respectively are
  1. 3,4
  2. 4,2
  3. 2,3
  4. 3,2

Solution

Structure of $\mathrm{XeO}_3$
$\Rightarrow 3 p \pi-d \pi$ pi bonds. Structure of $\mathrm{XeO}_4$
$\Rightarrow \quad 4 p \pi-d \pi$ bonds.
