Xef2molecule is a linear molecule but it is sp3d hybridisation why ???

1.	Xef2molecule is a linear molecule but it is sp3d hybridisation why ???
Answer» ONG>EXPLANATION: the electronic configuration of xenon is [KR]5s^2 5p^6 5d^0 as FLUORINE requires to vacant orbitals hybridisation RESULTS in moving of 5p electron to 5d orbital therefore the new electronic configuration of xe is [Kr]5s^2 5p^5 5d^1 and undergoes sp^3d hybridisation

Answer» ONG>EXPLANATION:

the electronic configuration of xenon is

[KR]5s^2 5p^6 5d^0

as FLUORINE requires to vacant orbitals

hybridisation RESULTS in moving of 5p electron to 5d orbital

therefore the new electronic configuration of xe is [Kr]5s^2 5p^5 5d^1

and undergoes sp^3d hybridisation
