Vedclass · Answer

(D) In $XeO_3$,the central atom $Xe$ undergoes $sp^3$ hybridization.The $Xe$ atom uses its $sp^3$ hybrid orbitals to form $3$ $\sigma$ bonds with the $p_z$ orbitals of three oxygen atoms.The $\pi$ bonds in $XeO_3$ are formed by the overlap of $d$-orbitals of $Xe$ (specifically $d_{xz}, d_{yz}, d_{xy}$) with the $p_x$ or $p_y$ orbitals of oxygen.Therefore,the overlapping $sp^3 + p_x$ and $sp^3 + p_y$ are involved in $\sigma$ bond formation (or hybrid orbital interactions),and $d_{xy} + p_x$ is involved in $\pi$ bond formation.The overlapping $sp^3 + s$ is not present in the $XeO_3$ molecule because oxygen uses its $p$-orbitals for bonding with the $sp^3$ hybrid orbitals of $Xe$.

Which of the following overlapping is not present in $XeO_3$ molecule?
