Question

$Xe{O}_4$ molecule is tetrahedral having ' $x$ ' number of $p\pi -d\pi$ bonds. The value of ' $x$ ' is_____

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Xenon undergo $s{p}^3$ hybridization

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

One $s$ and three $p$ orbital undergo $s{p}^3$ hybridization.
Four $s{p}^3$ hybrid orbitals 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.
