Hybridization and shape of `XeF_(4)` is

A

sp

B

`sp^(2)`

C

`sp^(2)d`

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Number of electrons around Xe in `XeF_(4)` = 8 + 4 = 12.
Number of electron pairs = 12/2 = 6
`therefore` Xe is `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridised in `XeF_(4)`.
