Question

The correct geometery and hydizatiojn for `XeF_(4)` are
A. octahedral `sp^(3) d^(2)`
B. trigonal bipyramidel `sp^(3) d`
C. planar triangle ,`sp^(3) d^(3)`
D. squarer planar `sp^(3)d^(2)`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - 1
`XeF_(4)implies` [steric number =`4` atoms +`2` lone pairs]`implies` geometery is octahedral ,shape is square planar and hybrization id `sp^(3) d^(2)` or Number fo hybrid orbitals `=(1)/(2)[VE+MA-c+a]`
`=(1)/(2)[8+4-0+0]=6sp^(3)d^(2)` hydrization
