Question

State True or False.

$Xe{F}_4$ molecule is square planar in shape.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The given statement is True.
$Xe{F}_4$ molecule is square planar in shape. The central Xe atom has 2 bond pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons. It undergoes $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridiasation which results in octahedral electron pair geometry and square planar molecular geometry.
