Hybridisation helps us to understand the geometry of the molecules. This is because hybridised orbitals are directed in space in some preferred directions to have stable arrangement, which determine the geometry. The common hybridisation are sp (linear), `sp^(2)` (trigonal planar), `sp^(3)` (tetrahedral), `sp^(3)d` (trigona bipyramidal), `sp^(3)d^(2)` (octahedral) and `sp^(3)d^(3)` (pentagonal bipyramidal). The presence of lone pairs in addition to bond pairs distort the geometry because `"lone pair "-" lone pair repulsion"gt" lone pair "-" bond repulsion" gt" bond pair" -"bond pair repulsion"`.
What is the hybridisation and shape of `XeF_(4)` molecule?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the hybridization and shape of the `XeF_(4)` molecule, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Valence Electrons - **Xenon (Xe)** is a noble gas and has 8 valence electrons. - Each **Fluorine (F)** atom contributes 1 valence electron. Since there are 4 fluorine atoms, they contribute a total of 4 valence electrons. **Total valence electrons = Valence electrons of Xe + Valence electrons from F** \[ ...

The concept of hybridisation has been introduced to explain the shapes of molecules. It involves the intermixing of two or more atomic orbitals belonging to same atom but in or more atomic orbitals beloging to sasme atom but in different sub-shells so as to intermix and redistibute energies to from equivalent orbitals called hybrid orbitals.Depending upon toh enumber and nature of the orbitals involved, the hybridisation may be divided into sp (linear), sp^(2) (trigonal), sp^(3) (tetrahedral), sp^(3)d (trigonal bipyramidal), sp^(3)d^(3) (octahedral) and sp^(3)d^(3) (pentagonal bipyramidal) types. it may be noted that the orbitals of isolated atoms never hybridise and they do so at the time of bond formation. The d-orbital involved in dsp^(2) hybridisation is:
