The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which molecules have the same hybridization, shape, and number of lone pairs of electrons, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Steric Number The steric number (SN) is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{SN} = \frac{\text{Number of valence electrons} + \text{Number of monovalent atoms}}{2} \] ### Step 2: Determine Hybridization Based on the steric number, we can determine the hybridization: - SN = 2 → sp - SN = 3 → sp² - SN = 4 → sp³ - SN = 5 → sp³d - SN = 6 → sp³d² ### Step 3: Analyze Each Molecule Let's analyze the given molecules: 1. **XeF4**: - Valence electrons of Xe = 8 - Monovalent atoms (F) = 4 - SN = (8 + 4) / 2 = 6 → Hybridization = sp³d² - Shape = Square planar (0 lone pairs) 2. **XeO2F2**: - Valence electrons of Xe = 8 - Monovalent atoms (F) = 2 - SN = (8 + 2) / 2 = 5 → Hybridization = sp³d - Shape = Seesaw (1 lone pair) 3. **SF4**: - Valence electrons of S = 6 - Monovalent atoms (F) = 4 - SN = (6 + 4) / 2 = 5 → Hybridization = sp³d - Shape = Seesaw (1 lone pair) 4. **XeF2**: - Valence electrons of Xe = 8 - Monovalent atoms (F) = 2 - SN = (8 + 2) / 2 = 5 → Hybridization = sp³d - Shape = Linear (3 lone pairs) 5. **TeF4**: - Valence electrons of Te = 6 - Monovalent atoms (F) = 4 - SN = (6 + 4) / 2 = 5 → Hybridization = sp³d - Shape = Seesaw (1 lone pair) 6. **SeCl4**: - Valence electrons of Se = 6 - Monovalent atoms (Cl) = 4 - SN = (6 + 4) / 2 = 5 → Hybridization = sp³d - Shape = Seesaw (1 lone pair) ### Step 4: Compare the Results Now we compare the hybridization, shape, and lone pairs: - **XeO2F2**: sp³d, Seesaw, 1 lone pair - **SF4**: sp³d, Seesaw, 1 lone pair - **TeF4**: sp³d, Seesaw, 1 lone pair - **SeCl4**: sp³d, Seesaw, 1 lone pair ### Conclusion The molecules that have the same hybridization (sp³d), shape (Seesaw), and number of lone pairs (1) are: - **XeO2F2** - **SF4** - **TeF4** - **SeCl4** Thus, the correct answer is **option A**: XeO2F2 and SF4.

To solve the question regarding which molecules have the same hybridization, shape, and number of lone pairs of electrons, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Steric Number The steric number (SN) is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{SN} = \frac{\text{Number of valence electrons} + \text{Number of monovalent atoms}}{2} \] ### Step 2: Determine Hybridization Based on the steric number, we can determine the hybridization: ...
