This problem is giving me some trouble:
Check the statements that correctly apply to the XeF6 ion:
a. There is an octahedral electron pair arrangement around Xe
b. The hybridization of Xe is d2sp3
c. The molecular structure is octahedral
d. There is one lone pair on the Xe atom
e. There are no lone pairs on the Xe atom
Could someone please explain it to me?
I know its molecular geometry is distorted octagon and its electron pair geometry is pentagonal bipyramidal. It also has 2 lone electron pairs, right? The hybridization I'm no so sure about...
