Question

Match the compounds of $Xe$ in column $I$ with the molecular structure in column $II$

Column -I		Column -II
(a)	$XeF_{2}$	(i)	Square planar
(b)	$XeF_{4}$	(ii)	Linear
(c)	$XeO_{3}$	(iii)	Square pyramidal
(d)	$XeOF_{4}$	(iv)	Pyramidal

• A. (a)-(ii) (b)-(i) (c)-(iii) (d)-(iv)
• B. (a)-(ii) (b)-(iv) (c)-(iii) (d)-(i)
• C. (a)-(ii) (b)-(iii) (c)-(i) (d)-(iv)
• D. (a)-(ii) (b)-(i) (c)-(iv) (d)-(iii)

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$XeF_{2} \to$ Linear
$XeF_{4} \to$ Square planar
$XeO_{3} \to$ Pyramidal
$XeOF_{4} \to$ Square pyramidal
