Vedclass · Answer

(B) In $XeO_3$,the central atom $Xe$ is $sp^3$ hybridized.$Xe$ has $3$ lone pairs and $3$ $Xe=O$ double bonds.The $Xe=O$ double bond consists of one $\sigma$-bond and one $d\pi-p\pi$ $\pi$-bond.The $\sigma$-bond is formed by the overlap of $sp^3$ hybrid orbitals of $Xe$ with the $p_z$ orbital of $O$ ($sp^3-p$ overlap).The $\pi$-bond is formed by the overlap of the filled $d$-orbitals of $Xe$ $(d_{xz}, d_{yz}, d_{xy})$ with the empty $p$-orbitals of $O$ ($d\pi-p\pi$ overlap).Therefore,$sp^3+s$ overlap is not present in $XeO_3$.

Which of the following overlapping is not present in $XeO_3$ molecule?
