Vedclass · Answer

(B) The central atom $Xe$ has $8$ valence electrons.In $XeF_2$,$Xe$ forms $2$ single bonds with $F$ atoms,using $2$ electrons.The remaining $6$ electrons form $3$ lone pairs.The steric number is calculated as: $	ext{Steric Number} = 	ext{Number of bond pairs} + 	ext{Number of lone pairs} = 2 + 3 = 5$.$A$ steric number of $5$ corresponds to $sp^3d$ hybridisation.

In $XeF_2$,the hybridisation of $Xe$ is:
