Which of the following xenon compound has chlorine pentafluoride like structure?

Options

  1. AXeF ₄
  2. BXeF ₆
  3. CXeO ₃
  4. DXeOF ₄

Correct answer

D. XeOF ₄

Step-by-step solution

Xenon compounds share structural similarities with interhalogens when their molecular geometries match. Chlorine pentafluoride ( ClF₅ ) has a square pyramidal geometry arising from an octahedral electron domain with one lone pair and five bonding pairs. Among xenon compounds, XeF₄ is square planar, XeF₆ is distorted octahedral, and XeO₃ is pyramidal. XeOF₄ features xenon bonded to four fluorine atoms and one oxygen atom via a double bond, yielding five bonding domains and one lone pair. This sp^3d^2 hybridized conf
