Explain the structures of
`XeF_(2)`

Explanation

In `XeF_(2)`, Xe undergoes `sp^(3)d` hybridisation


There are three bond pairs and two lone pairs. The two bond pairs overlap end-end with `2P_(2)` orbitals of two Fatoms. Thus `XeF_(2)` molecule has linear structure.
`XeF_(6)` has distorted octohedral shapes. `XeF_(6)` has. seven electròn pairs. (6 bonding and one lone pair). It has a distorted octahedral structure in the gas phase.
