The geometry of \(\mathrm{XeOF}_4\) is

  1. A octahedral
  2. B tetrahedral
  3. C linear
  4. D square pyramidal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) square pyramidal

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) \(\mathrm{XeOF}_4\) has one oxygen atom, which will form double bond with Xe. (ii) \(\mathrm{XeOF}_4\) has four fluorine atoms, which form four single bond with Xe. So, it has square pyramidal geometry. Geometry of \(\mathrm{XeOF}_4\): Note: The shape is to minimise the…
