The shape/structure of [XeF5]– and XeO3F2, respectively are :

Engineering

Chemistry

VSEPR Theory

Question

The shape/structure of [XeF₅]^– and XeO₃F₂, respectively are :

trigonal bipyramidal and pentagonal

pentagonal planar and trigonal bipyramidal

trigonal bipyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal

octahedral and square pyramidal

(i) XeF₅^– St. No. = (5 + 2) = 7

so hybridisation is = sp³d³

and structure is pentagonal planar.

(ii) XeO₃F₂ St. No. = 5

so hybridisation is = sp³d

and structure is trigonal bipyramidal.
