The geometries of \(\mathrm{XeF}_4\) and \(\mathrm{XeOF}_4\) respectively are
- A pyramidal and distorted octahedral
- B square pyramidal and square pyramidal
- C square planar and square pyramidal
- D square planar and square planar
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) square planar and square pyramidal
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The hybridisation of \(\mathrm{XeF}_4\) is \(s p^3 d^2\). So, the geometry is square planar. The hybridisation of \(\mathrm{XeOF}_4\) is \(s p^3 d^2\) and the geometry is square pyramidal with 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair.
