The shape of XeF(5)^(-) is-...

The shape of `XeF_(5)^(-)` is-

A

square pyramidial

B

triangular bipyramidal

C

planar

D

pentagonal bipyramidal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Here, `H=(1)/(2)(8+5-0+1)=7`
`therefore`Central atom `Xe:sp^(3)d^(3)`-hybridised
No. of lone pair of electron in `Xe,L=(7-5-0)=2`
`therefore XeF_(5)^(Theta)` ion is pentagonal bipyramidal.
