Q46 / 120 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · p Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)
molecule is tetrahedral having 'x' number of bonds. The value of ' ' is.
Correct answer: 4
Solution
Xenon undergo hybridization.

In the fourth excited state xenon atom, has 8 unpaired electrons

One s and three p orbital undergo hybridization. Four hybrid orbitals form four bonds with oxygen atoms. They are . Four bonds are also formed with oxygen atoms by the unpaired electrons.
