The d-orbital involved in the hybridization of central atom in `XeOF_(2)` molecule is :

A

`d_(z^(2))`

B

`d_(x^(2)-y^(2)) and d_(z^(2))`

C

`d_(xy)`

D

`d_(yz)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`XeOF_(2) to ` Hybridsation `=5 to sp^(3)d " "` So, one d-orbital is involved which is `dz^(2)`.
If hybridization is `sp^(3)d^(2)`, then `d_(z^(2)) and d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` both are involved. Eg. In `SF_(6)`
