The shape of \(\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}\) molecule is
- A trigonal bipyramidal
- B square planar
- C tetrahedral
- D see-saw
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) see-saw
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}\) has trigonal bipyramidal geometry, but due to presence of lone pair of electrons on equitorial position, its shape is see-saw.
