Dear all,
can you point me to a book reference where the hybridization states of the 8 orbitals (*) of Xe and Os in these 2 compounds [itex] \mbox{XeF_{8}} [/itex] and [itex] \mbox{OsF_{8}} [/itex] are justified in agreement with the quantum theory?
Do these 16 bonds involve the "f" orbitals or not ?
Thank you
Added(*): 8 <valence shell electrons>.
