Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Xe undergoes `sp^(3)` hybridisation

Unpaired.electrons in d-orbital form `dpi-p pi` bonds with oxygen. `sp^(3)` orbitals form. `3sigma` bonds with oxygen atoms. Because of the de presence of lone pair, the molecule assumes pyramidal shape with a bond angle of `103^(@)`
