`XeF_(2)` has linear structure and not a bent structure , Given reason .

XeF_(2) has a straight linear structure and not a bent angular structure. Why ?

Explain the following situations : (i) In the structure of HNO_(3) molecule , the N-O bond (121 pm) is shorter than N-OH bond (140pm). (ii) SF_(4) is easily hydrolysed whereas SF_(6) is not easily hydrolysed. (iii) XeF_(2) has a straight linear structure and not a bent angular structure.

Account for the following : (i) NH_(3) is a stronger base than PH_(3) (ii) Sulphur has a greater tendency for catention than oxygen. (iii) Bond dissociation energy of F_(2) is less than that of Cl_(2) . (OR) Explain the following situations : (i) In the structure of HNO_(3) moleucle, the N-O bond (121 pm) is shorter than the N-OH bond (140 pm). (ii) SF_(4) is easily hydrolysed whereas SF_(6) is not easily hydrolysed. (iii) XeF_(2) has a straight linear structure and not a bent angular structure.
