What tyoe of hybridisation takes place in xenon during the formation of `XeF_(4)` ? What is its shape ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`XeF_4` show `sp^(3) d^(2)`- hybridisation. The orbitals get hybridised to form six `sp^(3) d^(2)` hybrid orbitals with two orbitals having lone pair of electrons. Thus, the structure of the `XeF_4` is square planar.
