The shape and hybridisation of some xenon oxyfluorides are given. Choose the wrong set.

Answer»

`XeOF_2 to` T-SHAPE `sp^3d`
`XeOF_4 to` Square PYRAMIDAL `sp^3d^2`
`XeO_2F_2 to` Distorted trigonal bipyramidal - `sp^3d`
`XeO_3 F_2 to` OCTAHEDRAL- `sp^3d`

Solution :The structure of `XeO_3F_2` -
No. of lone pair of Xe= 0
No. of BOND pair = 5
Hybridisationof Xe= `sp^3d`
Hence , shape of `XeO_3F_2` should be trigonal bipyramidal and not octahedral .
