Xe belongs to the noble gas family so has 8 valence electrons...Xe => 5s25p6.......
Two of these are bonded with fluorine. Thus it is left with 6 electronss i.e. 3 lone pairs....
So hybridization is sp3d ....the shape that should be =>Trigonal bipyramidal....
But it has 3 lone pairs on equatorial plane & 2 bond pairs on axial .....so final shape =>LINEAR...

∙ 11y agoDrawing the Lewis structure for XeF2 there are three lone pairs on the Xe atom. These, with the two bonded fluorine atoms, gives a total of five electron domains, meaning this molecule is based on the trigonal bipyramid structure with a hybridization of sp3d.

What type of hybridization is present in water?
sp3
What is the molecular geometry of XeF2?
Linear
Which compound is isostructural with IBr2?
XeF2
What type of hybridIzation is c2br2?
There wont be a stable compound with the formula C2Br2. If there is then it will be sp hybridization of carbon. If the question is for CH2Br2, then carbon will be sp3 hybridized.
Which type of sp hybridization is exhibited by PCl5?
sp^3 d
What type of hybridization is present in water?
sp3
What hybridization is present in an octahedral molecular geometry?
sp3d2 hybridization. Example: sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
Is hybridization a type of selective breeding?
Yes.
What are s2 p3 etc?
Type of hybridization of molecule.
Is there in relation of karyology with hybridization in plants?
Yes, karyology is the study of chromosome structure and number present in the cells of an individual. Hybridization is possible only with compatible chromosomes of male and female parents.
What is the molecular geometry of XeF2?
Linear
Which compound is isostructural with IBr2?
XeF2
What type of hybridIzation is c2br2?
There wont be a stable compound with the formula C2Br2. If there is then it will be sp hybridization of carbon. If the question is for CH2Br2, then carbon will be sp3 hybridized.
What is the type of hybridization in NO2Cl?
sp2 with 120 degree bond angles.
Which type of sp hybridization is exhibited by PCl5?
sp^3 d
What type of hybridization is found in ammonia NH3?
Sp3 hybridization because of the three Hydrogens coming off of the Nitrogen plus one lone pair of electrons on the Nitrogen to satisfy it's octet rule.
What is the compound that makes formula XY2?
XeF2
