The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of matching the Xenon compounds from Column-I with their corresponding structures in Column-II, we will follow a systematic approach to determine the number of lone pairs and the resulting geometry for each compound. ### Step 1: Analyze XeF₄ 1. **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Xenon (Xe) has 8 valence electrons. - Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons, and there are 4 fluorine atoms. - Total valence electrons = 8 (from Xe) + 4 × 7 (from F) = 36 electrons. 2. **Sigma Bonds**: - XeF₄ has 4 sigma bonds (one for each F atom). 3. **Lone Pairs Calculation**: - Lone pairs = (Total valence electrons - Number of sigma bonds) / 2 - Lone pairs = (36 - 4) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 lone pairs. 4. **Coordination Number**: - Coordination number = Number of lone pairs + Number of sigma bonds = 2 + 4 = 6. 5. **Geometry**: - The geometry is octahedral due to the coordination number of 6. 6. **Shape**: - With 2 lone pairs, the shape is square planar. ### Step 2: Analyze XeF₆ 1. **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Total valence electrons = 8 (from Xe) + 4 × 7 (from F) = 36 electrons. 2. **Sigma Bonds**: - XeF₆ has 6 sigma bonds. 3. **Lone Pairs Calculation**: - Lone pairs = (36 - 6) / 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5, which rounds to 1 lone pair. 4. **Coordination Number**: - Coordination number = 1 + 6 = 7. 5. **Geometry**: - The geometry is octahedral. 6. **Shape**: - With 1 lone pair, the shape is distorted octahedral. ### Step 3: Analyze XeOF₄ 1. **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Total valence electrons = 8 (from Xe) + 6 (from F) + 6 (from O) = 20 electrons. 2. **Sigma Bonds**: - XeOF₄ has 5 sigma bonds (4 from F and 1 from O). 3. **Lone Pairs Calculation**: - Lone pairs = (20 - 5) / 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5, which rounds to 1 lone pair. 4. **Coordination Number**: - Coordination number = 1 + 5 = 6. 5. **Geometry**: - The geometry is octahedral. 6. **Shape**: - With 1 lone pair, the shape is square pyramidal. ### Step 4: Analyze XeO₃ 1. **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Total valence electrons = 8 (from Xe) + 3 × 6 (from O) = 26 electrons. 2. **Sigma Bonds**: - XeO₃ has 3 sigma bonds. 3. **Lone Pairs Calculation**: - Lone pairs = (26 - 3) / 2 = 23 / 2 = 11.5, which rounds to 1 lone pair. 4. **Coordination Number**: - Coordination number = 1 + 3 = 4. 5. **Geometry**: - The geometry is tetrahedral. 6. **Shape**: - With 1 lone pair, the shape is pyramidal. ### Final Matching - (a) XeF₄ → (ii) Square Planar - (b) XeF₆ → (iii) Distorted Octahedral - (c) XeOF₄ → (iv) Square Pyramidal - (d) XeO₃ → (i) Pyramidal ### Conclusion The correct matching code is: - (a) → (ii) - (b) → (iii) - (c) → (iv) - (d) → (i)
