The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds has a square pyramidal structure, we will analyze each option based on their hybridization and molecular geometry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: The options provided are: - Option 1: \( \text{XCF}_4 \) - Option 2: \( \text{XCO}_3 \) - Option 3: \( \text{XCF}_6 \) - Option 4: \( \text{XCOF}_4 \) 2. **Analyze Option 1: \( \text{XCF}_4 \)**: - **Hybridization**: The central atom (X) in \( \text{XCF}_4 \) has 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs. - **Hybridization Type**: \( \text{SP}^3\text{D}^2 \). - **Molecular Geometry**: With 2 lone pairs, the geometry is square planar. 3. **Analyze Option 2: \( \text{XCO}_3 \)**: - **Hybridization**: The central atom (X) has 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair. - **Hybridization Type**: \( \text{SP}^3 \). - **Molecular Geometry**: The geometry is trigonal pyramidal. 4. **Analyze Option 3: \( \text{XCF}_6 \)**: - **Hybridization**: The central atom (X) has 6 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair. - **Hybridization Type**: \( \text{SP}^3\text{D}^3 \). - **Molecular Geometry**: The geometry is distorted octahedral. 5. **Analyze Option 4: \( \text{XCOF}_4 \)**: - **Hybridization**: The central atom (X) has 4 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair. - **Hybridization Type**: \( \text{SP}^3\text{D}^2 \). - **Molecular Geometry**: The geometry is square pyramidal. 6. **Conclusion**: The only compound that exhibits a square pyramidal structure is \( \text{XCOF}_4 \). ### Final Answer: The compound with a square pyramidal structure is **Option 4: \( \text{XCOF}_4 \)**. ---
