Q. The shape of $XeOF _{2}$ on the basis of $V S E P R$ theory is

J & K CETJ & K CET 2009Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

In XeOF $_{2}$
Number of $\sigma$ bonds $=3$
Number of lone pairs $=2$
$\therefore $ Total number of electrons pairs
$=3+2=5$
Hybridisation $\rightarrow s p^{3} d$
Shape $\rightarrow$ T-shaped geometry
