The correct Answer is:
To determine which option contains compounds that both have a "see-saw" shape, we will analyze each option based on the hybridization and molecular geometry of the compounds listed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds in Each Option:** - **Option A:** XeO2F2 and SiF4 - **Option B:** XeO2F2 and IOF2^- - **Option C:** Cl4 and ICl4^- - **Option D:** BrO3F and XeOF2 2. **Analyze Option A:** - **XeO2F2:** - Hybridization: SP3D - Geometry: 4 bond pairs and 1 lone pair → See-saw shape. - **SiF4:** - Hybridization: SP3 - Geometry: 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs → Tetrahedral shape. - **Conclusion:** Only XeO2F2 has a see-saw shape. **Eliminate Option A.** 3. **Analyze Option B:** - **XeO2F2:** - Already established: See-saw shape. - **IOF2^-:** - Hybridization: SP3D - Geometry: 4 bond pairs and 1 lone pair → See-saw shape. - **Conclusion:** Both compounds have a see-saw shape. **Keep Option B.** 4. **Analyze Option C:** - **Cl4:** - Hybridization: SP3 - Geometry: 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs → Tetrahedral shape. - **ICl4^-:** - Hybridization: SP3D2 - Geometry: 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs → Square planar shape. - **Conclusion:** Neither compound has a see-saw shape. **Eliminate Option C.** 5. **Analyze Option D:** - **BrO3F:** - Hybridization: SP3 - Geometry: 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs → Tetrahedral shape. - **XeOF2:** - Hybridization: SP3D - Geometry: 4 bond pairs and 1 lone pair → See-saw shape. - **Conclusion:** Only XeOF2 has a see-saw shape. **Eliminate Option D.** 6. **Final Conclusion:** - The only option where both compounds have a see-saw shape is **Option B (XeO2F2 and IOF2^-).** ### Final Answer: **Option B** is the correct answer, as both compounds have a see-saw shape. ---
