Question

Match the species in in $ColumnI$ with their corresponding properties in $ColumnII$

Answer 1

A) $Xe{O}_3$

$Hybridization=Numberof\sigma bonds+lonepaironcentralatom$

$=3+1=4=s{p}^3$

$s{p}^3$ with one lone pair, so shape is Pyramidal Triagonal

$Xe{F}_6+3H_{2}O\to Xe{O}_3+6HF$

B) $XeO{F}_4$

$Hybridization=5\sigma bonds+1lonepaironcentralatom$

$=6=s{p}^3{d}^2$

$s{p}^3{d}^2$ with one lone pair, so shape is Square Pyramidal structure.

$Xe{F}_6+H_{2}O\to XeO{F}_4+2HF$

C) $Xe{O}_2{F}_4$

$Hybridization=6\sigma bonds+2lonepaironcentralatom$

$=6=s{p}^3{d}^2$

D) $Xe{O}_3{F}_2$

$Hybridization=s{p}^3$ It has tetrahedral shape.

E) $Xe{O}_4$

It has triagonal bi pyramidal shape.
