Column I		Column II
A	$Xe{F}_6$	1	$s{p}^3{d}^3$- distorted octahedral
B	$Xe{O}_3$	2	$s{p}^3{d}^2$ - square planar
C	$XeO{F}_4$	3	$s{p}^3$ - pyramidal
D	$Xe{F}_4$	4	$s{p}^3{d}^2$ - square pyramidal

• A. (A)-(1),(B)-(4), (C)-(2), (D)-(3)
• B. (A)-(2),(B)-(3), (C)-(4), (D)-(1)
• C. (A)-(1),(B)-(3), (C)-(4), (D)-(2)
• D. (A)-(4),(B)-(2), (C)-(3), (D)-(1)

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$Xe{F}_6:{\mathrm{sp}}^3{d}^3$ -distorted octahedral



$Xe{O}_3:s{p}^3$-pyramidal



$XeO{F}_4:s{p}^3{d}^2$-square pyramidal



$Xe{F}_4:s{p}^3{d}^2$-square planar
