Assertion (A) \(\mathrm{Xe}\) atoms in \(\mathrm{XeF}_2\) are \(d^2 s p^3\) hybridised. Reason (R) \(\mathrm{XeF}_2\) molecule does not follow octet rule. Which of the following is correct?
- A Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are true and \((R)\) is the correct explanation of \((A)\)
- B Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are true, but \((R)\) is not the correct explanation of \((A)\)
- C (A) is true, but \((R)\) is false
- D (A) is false, but (R) is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{XeF}_2\) is \(s p^3 d\) hybridised. \(\mathrm{XeF}_2\) molecule does not follow octet rule due to expanded octet 10 electrons. Therefore, \(A\) is incorrect but \(R\) is correct.
