Question

Match the compounds $\left(inListI\right)$ with the structures $\left(inListII\right)$.

Answer 1

$Xe{F}_4$ has square planar geometry as it contains 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons on central $Xe$ atom.

$Xe{F}_6$ has distorted octahedral geometry as it contains 6 bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons on central $Xe$ atom.

$Xe{O}_3$ has pyramidal geometry as it contains 3 bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons on central $Xe$ atom.

$Xe{O}_4$ has tetrahedral geometry as it contains 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs of electrons on central $Xe$ atom.
