Question

In the molecule XeF2 the xenon uses which type of hybrid? O spºd O spºd? Osp? O sp3 Osp

Answer 1

Answer:

$sp^3d$

Explanation:

The hybridization of the any molecule can be calculated by the formula $\frac{number\ of\ valence\ electron\ of\ central\ atom+number\ of\ monovalent\ atom\ -chare\ with\ sign}{2}$

We know that Xe have 8 valence electron and 2 monovalent atom  (F) are attached with Xe and there is no charge

So hybridization $=\frac{8+2-0}{2}=5$

So the hybridization will be $sp^3d$

Note -

2 for sp

3 for $sp^2$

4 for $sp^3$

5 for  $sp^3d$
