Draw the shape of `XeF_(4)` and `OSF(4)` according to `VSEPR` theory Show the lone pair of electrons on the central atom .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Hybridisation of `:overset(..)Xe F_(4) rArr (1)/(2) (8 +4) = 6 = sp^(3) d^(2)`
`:overset(..)XeF_(4): sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation Six electron pairs around central atom four bond pairs two lone pairs quare planar shape Hybridisation of `OSF_(4)`
`rArr (1)/(2) (6 +4 + 0) rArr 5 =sp^(3) d`
Five electrons pairs around central S-atom five bond pairs trigonal bipyramidal shape
