What is the structure ox `XeF_(6)`?

Options

A. Tetrahedral
B. Distorted octahedral
C. Octahedral
D. None of these

Explanation

(b) For `XeF_(6)`
`H=(1)/(2)[v+y-c+A]`
`=(1)/(2)[8+6-0+0]=7`
`implies "Hybridisation" =sp^(3)d^(3)`
Due to the presence of one lone pair of electron,`XeF_(6)` has distorted octahedral geometry.
