The shape of \( X e F_{6} \) is,
- A Square planar
- B Distorted octahedral
- C Square pyrimidal
- D Pyramidal
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Distorted octahedral
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The shape of \( X e F_{6} \) is distorted octahedral. The distortion is due to an extra lone pair of electrons on xenon, which
keeps oscillating and hence distortion occurs.
