MCQ
Which of the following is planar
  • A
    $Xe{F_2}$
  • B
    $Xe{O_3}F$
  • C
    $Xe{O_2}{F_2}$
  • $Xe{F_4}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$Xe{F_4}$
d
(d) In the formation of $Xe{F_4}, s{p^3}{d^2}$ hybridisation occurs which gives the molecule an octahedral structure. The xenon and four fluorine atoms are coplanar while the two equatorial positions are occupied by the two lone pairs of electrons.
