When \(\mathrm{SbF}_5\) reacts with \(\mathrm{XeF}_4\) to form an adduct, the shapes of cation and anion in the adduct respectively are

  1. A square planar, trigonal bipyramidal
  2. B T-shaped, octahedral
  3. C square pyramidal, octahedral
  4. D plane triangular, trigonal bipyramidal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) T-shaped, octahedral

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the reaction between \(\mathrm{XeF}_4\) and \(\mathrm{SbF}_5, \mathrm{XeF}_4\) acts as flouride \(\left(\mathrm{F}^{-}\right)\)donor.
