Question

Identify the molecular pairs with one of the molecule having a T-shape and other with a square-pyramidal geometry.

• A. $IC{l}_2^{-}$ and $IC{l}_5$
• B. $I{O}_3^{-}$ and $I{O}_2{F}_2^{-}$
• C. $Cl{F}_3$ and $I{O}_4^{-}$
• D. $XeO{F}_2$ and $XeO{F}_4$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $XeO{F}_2$ and $XeO{F}_4$

$XeO{F}_2$ has $s{p}^{3}d$ hybridization ,T-shape.


$XeO{F}_4$ molecule has $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridisation.
