JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

\(XeO_4\) molecule is tetrahedral having

  1. A Two \(P\pi - d\pi \) bonds
  2. B One \(P\pi - d\pi \) bonds
  3. C Four \(P\pi - d\pi \) bonds
  4. D Three \(P\pi - d\pi \) bonds
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Four \(P\pi - d\pi \) bonds

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

One \(s\) and three \(p\) orbital undergo \(s p^{3}\) hybridization. Four \(s p^{3}\) hybridorbitals 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.
