Incorrectly matched pair is

  1. A \(\mathrm{XeO}_{3}\) pyramidal
  2. B \(\mathrm{XeF}_{4}\) tetrahedral
  3. C \(\mathrm{XeF}_{6}\) disorted octahedral
  4. D \(\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}\) square pyramidal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{XeF}_{4}\) tetrahedral

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{XeF}_{4}\) tetrahedral is the incorrectly matched pair as \(\mathrm{XeF}_{4}\) is actually having square plannar structure with \(s p^{3} d^{2}\) hybridisation.
