The shape of \(XeF_{5}^{-}\) will be
- A square pyramid
- B trigonal bipyramidal
- C planar
- D pentagonal bipyramid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) planar
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Shape of XeF \(\rightarrow\) The Xe show \(s p^{3} d^{3}\) -hybridisation in \(XeF^{-}_{5}\), Thus, its geometry is Pentagonal-bipyramidal. But, number of electron pair \(=\frac{8+5+1}{2}=7\) Number of bond pair \(=5^{2},\) number of lone pair \(=2\) A lot of electrons are…
