Which of the following is planar?

A

`XeF_(2)`

B

`XeO_(3)F`

C

`XeO_(2)F_(2)`

D

`XeF_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In the formation of `XeF_(4),sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation occurs which gives the molecule an octahedral structure. The xenone and four fluorine atoms are coplanar while the two equatorial positions are occupied by the two lone pairs of electrons.
