JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3ph141

In which of the following is Xe $s p^{3} d$ hybridised?

A $XeOF X_{4}$
B $XeO X_{2} F X_{2}$
C $XeF X_{3} X^{+}$
D $XeF X_{2}$

Answer: B, C, D

XeF2 has 5 pairs (2 bond, 3 lone),

XeO X_{2} F X_{2}

has 5 pairs (4 sigma, 1 lone) and

XeF X_{3} X^{+}

has 5 pairs (3 bond, 2 lone), so all are

s p^{3} d

. XeOF4 has 6 pairs and is

s p^{3} d^{2}

.
