The correct Answer is:
To determine the shapes of the cation and anion formed when \( \text{SbF}_5 \) reacts with \( \text{XeF}_4 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Products When \( \text{SbF}_5 \) reacts with \( \text{XeF}_4 \), it forms a cation and an anion: - Cation: \( \text{XeF}_3^+ \) - Anion: \( \text{SbF}_6^- \) ### Step 2: Determine the Shape of the Cation \( \text{XeF}_3^+ \) 1. **Count the Valence Electrons**: - Xenon (Xe) has 8 valence electrons. - Each fluorine (F) contributes 1 electron, and there are 3 fluorines. - The cation \( \text{XeF}_3^+ \) has lost one electron, so the total is \( 8 + 3 - 1 = 10 \) valence electrons. 2. **Determine the Hybridization**: - The central atom (Xe) is surrounded by 3 bonding pairs (from the 3 fluorine atoms) and has 2 lone pairs. - This leads to a total of 5 electron pairs, indicating \( sp^3d \) hybridization. 3. **Shape**: - With 3 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs, the molecular geometry is T-shaped. ### Step 3: Determine the Shape of the Anion \( \text{SbF}_6^- \) 1. **Count the Valence Electrons**: - Antimony (Sb) has 5 valence electrons. - Each fluorine contributes 1 electron, and there are 6 fluorines. - The anion \( \text{SbF}_6^- \) has gained one extra electron, so the total is \( 5 + 6 + 1 = 12 \) valence electrons. 2. **Determine the Hybridization**: - The central atom (Sb) is surrounded by 6 bonding pairs (from the 6 fluorine atoms). - This leads to a total of 6 electron pairs, indicating \( sp^3d^2 \) hybridization. 3. **Shape**: - With 6 bonding pairs and no lone pairs, the molecular geometry is octahedral. ### Conclusion Thus, the shapes of the cation and anion in the adduct formed from the reaction of \( \text{SbF}_5 \) and \( \text{XeF}_4 \) are: - Cation \( \text{XeF}_3^+ \): T-shaped - Anion \( \text{SbF}_6^- \): Octahedral ### Final Answer The shapes of the cation and anion in the adduct are respectively T-shaped and octahedral. ---
