Which of the following has trigonal bipyramidal structure?

A yellow metallic powder is burnt in a stream of fluorine to obtain a colourless gas X which is thermally stable and chemically inert. Its molecule has octahedral geometry. Another colourless gas Y with same constituent atoms as that of X is obtained when sulphur dichloride is heated with sodium fluoride. Its molecule has trigonal pyramidal structure. X and Y are respectively of fluorine to obtain a colourless gas X which is thermally stable and chemically inert. Its molecule has octahedral geometry.

Give the formula of a fluoride molecule that: (a) is octahedral in shape (b) is trigonal bipyramidal in shape (c) is T-shaped

Among noble gases, Xe is quite reactive and form a number of fluorides and oxyfluorides. In these compounds the electrons, from 5p orbitals are excited to 5d orbitals. The predicted shapes of xenon fluorides are linear, square planar and distorted octahedron. The shapes of xeon oxyfluorides can be prodicted by VSEPR theory.
