Discuss the structure of the `XeF_4` on the basis of VSEPR theory.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Structure of `XeF_4`
In `XeF_4` Xe is `sp^3 d^2` hybridised with two fully filled and four half filled hybridised orbitals. Therefore, `XeF_4` has a square planar in which Xe atom is present in the centre of a square and the four bond pairs are directed towards its four corners and two lone pair lie above and below the square plane.
