Question

The shapes of SF4 and XeF2 respectively are (A) trigonal bipyramidal and trigonai bipyramidai (B) see-saw and linear (C) T-shape and linear (D) square planar and trigonal bipyramidal

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The shape of SF4 is see-saw as it contains four bond pairs and one lone pair.

XeF 2 has s p3 d hybridisation and linear geometry (due to the presence of 3 lone pairs) which is represented as

Q. The shapes of $S F_{4}$ and $X e F_{2}$ respectively are

trigonal bipyramidal and trigonai bipyramidai

see-saw and linear

T-shape and linear

square planar and trigonal bipyramidal

The shape of $S F_{4}$ is see-saw as it contains four bond pairs and one lone pair.

$X e F_{2}$ has $s p^{3} d$ hybridisation and linear geometry (due to the presence of 3 lone pairs) which is represented as
