The structure of XeOF(4) is...

The structure of `XeOF_(4)` is

A

tetrahedral

B

square pyramidal

C

square planar

D

octahedral

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In this molecule `Xe` has `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridation. One orbital will have a lone pair electron and thus the geometry will be square pyramidal.
