`XeF_(2)` is isostructure with

Options

A. `ICl_(2)^(-)`
B. `SbCI_(3)`
C. `BaCI_(2)`
D. `TeF_(2)`

Answer

1

Explanation

Both `XeF_(2)` and `ICI_(2)^(-)` have same steric number (2 atoms +3 lone paire). Thus both are linear

`SbCl_(3)` (3 atoms +1 lone pair) is trigonal pyramidal, `TeF_(2)` (2 atoms +2 lone pairs) is angular whilst `BaCl_(2)` is ionic .This question can also be credited to chemical bonding chapter
