The hybridisation of Xe and the number of lone pairs of electrons on it in `XeF_(6)` are

A

`sp^(3)d^(2),1`

B

`sp^(3)d^(3),2`

C

`sp^(3)d^(2),2`

D

`sp^(3)d^(3),1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`XeF_(6) ` has `sp^(3)d^(3)` hybridisation, octahedral structure in which six positions are occupied by fluorine atoms and one lone pair is present on the central atom i.e., Xe.
