Question
The shape/structure of [XeF5]– and XeO3F2, respectively are : (A) octahedral and square pyramidal (B) trigonal bipyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal (C) trigonal bipyramidal and pentagonal (D) pentagonal planar and trigonal bipyramidal
Answer: D
💡 Solution & Explanation
(i) XeF5– St. No. = (5 + 2) = 7 so hybridisation is = sp3d3 and structure is pentagonal planar. (ii) XeO3F2 St. No. = 5 so hybridisation is = sp3d and structure is trigonal bipyramidal.
