MCQ
The hybridisation and structure of $XeF_6$ is :
- A$sp^3d^2,$ distorted octahedral
- ✓$sp^3d^3,$ distorted octahedral
- C$sp^3d^2,$ octahedral
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$sp^3d^3,$ distorted octahedral
b
Xenon hexafluoride has $\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{d}^{3}$ hybridization.
Xenon hexafluoride has $\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{d}^{3}$ hybridization.
Xe has 8 electrons in its valence shell, of which 6 electrons form six bonds with $6 \mathrm{F}$ atoms while the remaining two electrons remain as lone pair.
It's structure is distorted octahedral as the lone electron pair is located in the sp ${ }^{3} \mathrm{d}^{3}$ hybrid orbital.
