The correct Answer is:
To determine which molecule has all equal `X-F` bond lengths, we need to analyze the given options one by one. The central atom `X` in each molecule will dictate the hybridization and geometry, which in turn affects the bond lengths. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Central Atom and Hybridization:** - For each molecule, identify the central atom and calculate its hybridization. - The formula for hybridization is given by: \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \text{Number of valence electrons} + \text{Number of single bonded atoms} \right) \] 2. **Analyze Each Option:** - **Option A: SOCl2F2** - Central atom: Sulfur (S) - Valence electrons: 6 - Single bonded atoms: 4 (2 Cl and 2 F) - Hybridization: \[ \frac{1}{2} (6 + 4) = 5 \quad \text{(SP}^3\text{D)} \] - Geometry: Trigonal bipyramidal. According to Bent's rule, the two fluorine atoms will be in axial positions, and the bond lengths of SF will be equal. - **Option B: SEF4** - Central atom: Selenium (Se) - Valence electrons: 6 - Single bonded atoms: 4 (4 F) - Hybridization: \[ \frac{1}{2} (6 + 4) = 5 \quad \text{(SP}^3\text{D)} \] - Geometry: Trigonal bipyramidal. There are two types of bonds (axial and equatorial), so the bond lengths will not be equal. - **Option C: PBr2F3** - Central atom: Phosphorus (P) - Valence electrons: 5 - Single bonded atoms: 5 (2 Br and 3 F) - Hybridization: \[ \frac{1}{2} (5 + 5) = 5 \quad \text{(SP}^3\text{D)} \] - Geometry: Trigonal bipyramidal. Similar to option B, the bond lengths will not be equal due to different axial and equatorial positions. - **Option D: IF7** - Central atom: Iodine (I) - Valence electrons: 7 - Single bonded atoms: 7 (7 F) - Hybridization: \[ \frac{1}{2} (7 + 7) = 7 \quad \text{(SP}^3\text{D}^3) \] - Geometry: Pentagonal bipyramidal. There are different types of bonds (axial and equatorial), so the bond lengths will not be equal. 3. **Conclusion:** - The only molecule with equal `X-F` bond lengths is **SOCl2F2** (Option A) because it has two identical SF bonds in axial positions. ### Final Answer: The molecule with all equal `X-F` bond lengths is **SOCl2F2**.

To determine which molecule has all equal `X-F` bond lengths, we need to analyze the given options one by one.
