A) Two \[p\pi -d\pi \] bonds
B) One \[p\pi -d\pi \] bonds
C) Four \[p\pi -d\pi \] bonds
D) Three \[p\pi -d\pi \] bonds
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Xenon undergo \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridization. In the fourth excited state xenon atom, has 8 unpaired electrons One s and three p orbital undergo \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridization. Four \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybrid orbitals form four \[\sigma \] bonds with oxygen atoms. They are\[\sigma \,s{{p}^{3}}-p\]. Four \[p\pi -d\pi \] bonds are also formed with oxygen atoms by the unpaired electrons.You need to login to perform this action.
