Which one of the following is a correct pair with respect to molecular formula of xenon compound and hybridization state of xenon in it?
- $\mathrm{XeF}_4, s p^3$
- $\mathrm{XeF}_2, s p$
- $\mathrm{XeF}_2, s p^3 d$
- $\mathrm{XeF}_4, s p^2$
Solution
Xe in I excited state
$\therefore \mathrm{XeF}_2$ undergoes $s p^3 d$ hybridisation, whereas $\mathrm{XeF}_4$ undergoes $s p^3 d^2$ hybridisation.
