Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

OSF₄: The Sulfur atom undergoes sp³d hybridization to accommodate five sigma bonds/lone pairs. It also forms a dπ-pπ double bond with Oxygen using its remaining d orbitals.

XeO₂F₂: Xenon uses sp³d hybridization for its trigonal bipyramidal geometry (two lone pairs, three sigma bonds). The two Xe=O double bonds involve dπ-pπ bonding.

SO₄²⁻ and SO₃²⁻: While these species involve d orbitals for π bonding, the central Sulfur atom is sp³ hybridized. Since sp³ does not include a d orbital, they do not meet the first criteria.

Correct Options: (A) and (B)
