The geometrical shapes of XeF 5 + , XeF 6 and XeF 8 2– respectively are

Trigonalbipyramidal, octahedral and square planar

Square based pyramidal, distorted octahedral and octahedral

Planar pentagonal, octahedral and square anti prismatic

Square based pyramidal, distorted octahedral and square anti prismatic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

H of XeF 5 + = (8 + 5 – 1+ 0) = 6 ⇒ sp 3 d 2

Square based pyramidal

H of XeF 6 = (8 + 6 – 0 + 0) = 7 ⇒ sp 3 d 3

distorted octahedral
