Question

Match the Xenon compounds in Column - I with its structure in Column - Il and assign the correct code :
Column - I Column - II
(a) XeF₄ (i) pyramidal
(b) XeF₆ (ii) square planar
(c) XeOF₄ (iii) distorted octahedral
(d) XeO₃ (iv) square pyramidal
Code :
(a) (b) (c) (d)
(1) (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
(2) (ii) (iii) (iv) (i)
(3) (ii) (iii) (i) (iv)
(4) (iii) (iv) (i) (ii)

Answer 1

(a) $\bold{XeF_{4}-Square\,plnar}$

$\bold{(b)\,XeF_{4}-Distorted\,octahedral}$

$\bold{(c)\,XeOF_{4}-Square\,pyramidal}$

$\bold{(d)\,XeO_{3}-Pyramidal}$

Step by step explanation:

(a)

$\bold{XeF_{4}}$

The number of Bond pairs =4

The number of lone pairs on the central atom=2

The shape of the compound is "Square planar".

(b)

$\bold{XeF_{6}}$

The number of Bond pairs =6

The number of lone pairs on the central atom=1

The shape of the compound is "Distorted octahedral".

(c)

$\bold{XeOF_{4}}$

The number of Bond pairs =5

The number of lone pairs on the central atom=1

The shape of the compound is "Square pyramidal".

(d)

$\bold{XeO_{3}}$

The number of Bond pairs =3

The number of lone pairs on the central atom=1

The shape of the compound is "Pyramidal".

The structures of each given compound is as follows.
