Question

Identify the incorrect statement, regarding the molecule $Xe{O}_4$.

• A. $Xe{O}_4$ molecule is square planar
• B. There are four $p\pi -d\pi$ bonds
• C. There are four $s{p}^3-p$, $\sigma$ bonds
• D. $Xe{O}_4$ molecule is tetrahedral

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Xe{O}_4$ molecule is square planar


In $Xe{O}_4$ molecule, there are four $p\pi -d\pi$ bonds, there are four $s{p}^3-p$, $\sigma$ bonds and molecule is tetrhaderal.
