Which of the following shape are not possible for possible value of n in `XeF_(n)` molecule ?

A

Linear

B

Square planar

C

Trigonal planar

D

Capped octahedral

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `XeF_(n)`, possible value of n is 2,4,6,8, then compound should be `XeF_(2)` (linear), `XeF_(4)` (square planar), `XeF_(6)` (capped octahedral). So in this case trigonal planar molecule does not possible.
