Question

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

Answer 1

`sp^3d`

Step-by-step explanation:

The hybridization of the any molecule can be calculated by the formula
`(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
`=(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`
