Question

Which of the following has distorted octahedral structure? (A) SF6 (B) PF6- (C) SiF62 - (D) XeF6

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

XeF6 has distorted octahedral structure. Xenon in XeF6 undergoes sp3d3 hybridisation giving pentagonal bipyramid with one axis is occupied by a lone pair. Rest other have normal octahedral structure as have sp3d2 -hybridisation. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-gihd3hu0uvte1j3p.jpg" />

Q. Which of the following has distorted octahedral structure?

$S F_{6}$

$P F_{6}^{-}$

$S i F_{6}^{2 -}$

$X e F_{6}$

$X e F_{6}$ has distorted octahedral structure. Xenon in $X e F_{6}$ undergoes $s p^{3} d^{3}$ hybridisation giving pentagonal bipyramid with one axis is occupied by a lone pair. Rest other have normal octahedral structure as have $s p^{3} d^{2}$ -hybridisation.
