The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the compounds given and determine their shapes based on hybridization and molecular geometry. The compounds we need to consider are: 1. **XeF₂** 2. **XeF₄** 3. **XeF₆** 4. **XeO₃** 5. **XeOF₄** 6. **XeO₂F₂** We will find the required values step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the Hybridization and Shape of Each Compound **(a) XeF₂** - Valence Electrons: 8 (Xe) + 2 (F) = 10 - Steric Number = (8 + 2) / 2 = 5 - Hybridization: sp³d - Shape: Linear (due to 3 lone pairs) **(b) XeF₄** - Valence Electrons: 8 (Xe) + 4 (F) = 12 - Steric Number = (8 + 4) / 2 = 6 - Hybridization: sp³d² - Shape: Square planar (due to 2 lone pairs) **(c) XeF₆** - Valence Electrons: 8 (Xe) + 6 (F) = 14 - Steric Number = (8 + 6) / 2 = 7 - Hybridization: sp³d³ - Shape: Distorted octahedral (due to 1 lone pair) **(d) XeO₃** - Valence Electrons: 8 (Xe) + 3 (O) = 11 - Steric Number = (8 + 0) / 2 = 4 - Hybridization: sp³ - Shape: Pyramidal (due to 1 lone pair) **(e) XeOF₄** - Valence Electrons: 8 (Xe) + 4 (F) + 6 (O) = 18 - Steric Number = (8 + 4 + 2) / 2 = 6 - Hybridization: sp³d² - Shape: Square pyramidal (due to 1 lone pair) **(f) XeO₂F₂** - Valence Electrons: 8 (Xe) + 2 (O) + 4 (F) = 14 - Steric Number = (8 + 2 + 2) / 2 = 6 - Hybridization: sp³d² - Shape: See-saw (due to 1 lone pair) ### Step 2: Count the Compounds with Planar Shapes - Planar shapes: Linear (XeF₂), Square planar (XeF₄) - Total planar compounds = 2 ### Step 3: Identify the Codes for Each Shape - **Linear**: XeF₂ (Code = 1) - **Distorted Octahedral**: XeF₆ (Code = 3) - **Pyramidal**: XeO₃ (Code = 4) - **Square Pyramidal**: XeOF₄ (Code = 5) ### Step 4: Assign Values to T, Z, X, Y, U - (a) No. of compounds having planar shape (T) = 2 - (b) Code of the compound which is linear (Z) = 1 - (c) Code of the compound which has distorted octahedral shape (X) = 3 - (d) Code of the compound which is pyramidal (Y) = 4 - (e) Code of the compound which is square pyramidal (U) = 5 ### Final Code Putting it all together, we have: - XYZTU = 34125 ### Final Answer The final lock code for Santa and Banta's car is **34125**. ---
