Question

Which one of the following does not have sp³ hybridisation?

विकल्प

• CH₄

• XeF₄

• H₂O

• NH₃

Answer 1

XeF₄ 

Explanation:

Molecular formula	Geometry	Bond and hybridisation
CH4	\[\begin{array}{cc} \ce{H}\phantom{..}\ce{H} \phantom{..}\ce{H}\\\backslash\phantom{..}| \phantom{..}/\\\ce{C}\\|\\\ce{H}\end{array}\]	4σ bond sp3 hybridisation
XeF4		4σ bond +2 lone pairs sp3 d2 hybridisation
H2O		2σ bond +2 lone pairs sp3 hybridisation
NH3		3σ bond + 1 lone pair sp3 hybridisation
