A

linear `XeF_(2)` and pyramidal `XeO_(3)`

B

bent `XeF_(2)` and pyramidal `XeO_(3)`

C

bent `XeF_(2)` and planar `XeO_(3)`

D

linear `XeF_(2)` and tetrahedral `XeO_(3)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`lBr_(2)^(-) " and " XeF_(2)` are both linear.
`BrO_(3)^(-) " and " XeO_(3)` are both pyramidal.
The pairs listed above are also iso-electronic in nature. It is the correct answer.
