The hybridisation of \(\mathrm{Xe}\) in \(\mathrm{XeO}_3\) is

  1. A \(s p^3\)
  2. B \(s p^3 d\)
  3. C \(s p^3 d^3\)
  4. D \(d s p^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(s p^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & H=\frac{1}{2}(V+M-C+A)=\frac{1}{2}(8+0-0+0)=4\left(s p^3\right) \\ & {[\because V=\text { number of valence electrons of } \mathrm{Xe}=8} \\ & M=\text { number of monovalent atoms }=0 \\ & C=\text { number of cationic charge }=0 \\ & A=\text { number of anionic…
