The shape and hybridisation of some xenon oxyfluorides are given. Choese the wrong set.

Options

A. ` XeOF _ 2 ` - T- shapes ` s p ^ 3 d `
B. ` XeOF_ 4 ` - Square pyramidal ` sp ^ 3 d ^ 2 `
C. `XeO _ 2 F _ 2 ` - Distorted trigonal bipyramidal ` -sp^ 3 d `
D. ` XeO_ 3 F _ 2 ` - Octahedral ` sp^ 3 d `

Answer

D

Explanation

The structure of `XeO_(3)F_(3)` No. of lone pair of Xe=0 and no. of bond pair =5 Hybridisation of `Xe=sp^(3)d`
Hence, shape of `XeO_(3)F_(2)` should be trigonal bipyramidal and not octahedral.
