S b F 3 reacts with X e F 4 and X e F 6 to form ionic compounds X e F 3 + S b F 6 - and X e F 5 + S b F 6 - then molecular shape of X e F 3 + ion and X e F 5 + ion respectively
Options
- ASquare pyramidal, T-shaped
- BBent-T-shape, square pyramidal
- CSee-saw, square pyramidal
- DSquare pyramidal, See-saw
Correct answer
B. Bent-T-shape, square pyramidal
Step-by-step solution
The shapes of these ions are as follows [ X e F 3 + ] : Bent-T shape ( s p 3 d -hybridisation) [ X e F 5 + ] : Square pyramidal ( s p 3 d 2 -hybridisation)
