Xenon undergoes$\mathrm{s}{\mathrm{p}}^3$hybridization

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

One$\text{s}$and three$\text{p}$orbital undergo${\text{sp}}^{\text{3}}$hybridization. Four$\mathrm{s}{\mathrm{p}}^3$hybrid orbitals form four σ bonds with oxygen atoms. They are$\text{σ}{\text{sp}}^{\text{3}}-\text{p}$. Four pπ – dπ bonds are also formed with oxygen atoms by the unpaired electrons.
