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

Options

A. `d_(z^(2))`
B. `d_(x^(2)-y^(2)) and d_(z^(2))`
C. `d_(xy)`
D. `d_(yz)`

Answer

A

Explanation

`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)`
