MCQ
$XeO_4$ molecule is tetrahedral having
  • A
    Two $p\pi -d\pi $ bonds
  • B
    One $p\pi -d\pi $ bonds
  • Four $p\pi -d\pi $ bonds
  • D
    Three $p\pi -d\pi $ bonds

Answer

Correct option: C.
Four $p\pi -d\pi $ bonds
c
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.
