Hybridisation of Xenon in XeF6 molecule ...

Hybridisation of Xenon in `XeF_6` molecule is :

A

`sp^3 d^3`

B

`sp^3`

C

`sp^3 d^2`

D

`sp^3 d`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to VSEPR theory this molecule has seven electron pairs (6 bonding pairs and I lone pair) and thus, it has distorted octahedral structure and the hybridisation in this molecule is `sp^3 d^3`
