The shapes of XeF_(4),XeF_(5)^(-) and SnCl_(2) are :

The shape of I_3^- is (a) Tetrahedral (b) Linear (c) T-shape (d) Triagonal planar

Statement-1 : PCl_(5) has trigonal bipyramidal shape . and Statement-2 : Length of all P-Cl bonds in PCl_(5) is equal

2x+3=5 is a linear equation.

The shape/structure of [XeF_(5)]-andXeO_(3)F_(2) , respectively, are :

ClF_(3) molecule has a bent T-shaped structure and not a trigonal planar structure. Explain.

Shape of SF_4 is 1) Tetrahedral 2)Square planar 3)Trigonal Pyramid 4)See-saw

Hybridisation helps us to understand the geometry of the molecules. This is because hybridised orbitals are directed in space in some preferred directions to have stable arrangement, which determine the geometry. The common hybridisation are sp (linear), sp^(2) (trigonal planar), sp^(3) (tetrahedral), sp^(3)d (trigona bipyramidal), sp^(3)d^(2) (octahedral) and sp^(3)d^(3) (pentagonal bipyramidal). The presence of lone pairs in addition to bond pairs distort the geometry because "lone pair "-" lone pair repulsion"gt" lone pair "-" bond repulsion" gt" bond pair" -"bond pair repulsion" . What is the hybridisation and shape of XeF_(4) molecule?
