Explain the structures of XeOF(4)...

Explain the structures of
`XeOF_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Structure of `alpha" XeOF"_(4)` :
1) In `XeOF_(4)` molecule 'Xe' under goes `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation.
2) Shape of the molecule is square pyramid.
3) There is one Xe-O double bond containing
`p pi=d pi` overlaping.
Partial hydrolysis of `XeF_(6)` gives `XeOF_(4)`
`XeF_(6)+H_(2)O to" XeOF"_(4)+2HF`
`XeOF_(4)` is a colourless volatile liquid it has a square pyramidal shape.
