Question

Shape of XeOF4 and bond angle between them ?

Answer 1

because xeof4 in which one lone pair at axial and four at square planar and one oxygen at button axial

Answer 2

Given:

A compound XeOF4 is present.

To Find:

The Shape of XeOF4 and bond angle between them.

Solution:

As we know,

Electron pair = valence electron+bond pair Formula for calculating electron pair

$= \frac{V+M-C+A}{2}$

Here, V= number of valence electrons

M= no of monovalent atoms attached.

C= charge on the cation

A= charge on the anion

So, the XeOF4 electron pair

$\frac{8 + 4}{2} = 6$

Bond pair of XeOF4 = 5

Lone pair of XeOF4 = 6-5=1

Henceforth, the shape of XeOF4 is square pyramidal and the angle are less than 90 degrees.
