The shapes of `SF_(4)andXeF_(2)` respectively are

A

trigonal bipyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal

B

see-saw and linear

C

T-shape and linear

D

squrae planar and trigonal bipyramidal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`SF_(4)` has a see-saw shape as it contains four bond
pairs and one lone pair
`XeF_(2)` has `sp^(3)d` hybridisation and linear geometry due to presence of three lone pairs.
