MCQ
$Xe{F_2}$ involves hybridisation
  • A
    $s{p^3}$
  • $s{p^3}d$
  • C
    $s{p^3}{d^2}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$s{p^3}d$
b
The hybridisation of $Xe$ in $XeOF _2$ is $sp _3 d$ and structure is $T -$ shaped having the $2$ lone pairs and oxygen atom in the equatorial position and the two $F$ atoms at the axial position,but if you consider the lone pairs during the determination of the structure then it will be $T B P$ (trigonal bipyramidal).
