Detailed Solution

  • InClO4-, we have 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pair of electrons and so, it has s3 hybridization. Here, we have 3Cl=O bonds (chlorine is doubly bonded with the oxygen) and 1Cl-O-bond. As, both s and p orbitals are occupied so, only d-orbital is available to participate in π - bonding. So, here the number of - bonds are 3.

Now, from the given options, XeF4 and XeF6 do not form - bonds (as the fluorine is linked to xenon by single bonds).

  • Considering XeO3 and XeO4,XeO3 has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair and XeO4 has 4 bond pair and 0 lone pairs thus, resulting in sp3 hybridization.

But, XeO3 has 3Xe=O bonds along with 1 lone pair of electrons and the number of dπ-pπ bonds are 3 which is same as that of ClO4-.

Hence, the compound in which the number of - bonds are equal to those present in ClO4-is XeO3.
