Question

The maximum number of equal bond angles in $XeO{F}_4$ is

• A. 8
• B. 2
• C. 6
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is A 8

$XeO{F}_4$ has a square pyramidal shape. So we’ll have four right angles at ${90}^o$ to each other in a plane. And another four ${90}^o$ with a bond in the plane and the one perpendicular to it.
In total we’ll have 8 equal bond angles.
