The shape of XeO_ 2 ~F_ 2 molecule is

The shape of XeO2 F2\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2} molecule isThe shape of XeO_ 2 ~F_ 2 molecule is

Options

  1. Atrigonal bipyramidal
  2. Bsquare planar
  3. Ctetrahedral
  4. Dsee-saw

Correct answer

D. see-saw

Step-by-step solution

XeO2 F2\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2} has trigonal bipyramidal geometry, but due to presence of lone pair of electrons on equitorial position, its shape is see-saw. The shape of XeO_ 2 ~F_ 2 molecule is
