NEET Chemistry QUESTION #1080
Question 1
Match List-I with List-II for Xenon compounds: (A) XeO\(_3\) (B) XeF\(_2\) (C) XeOF\(_4\) (D) XeF\(_6\); with (I) sp\(^3\)d; linear (II) sp\(^3\); pyramidal (III) sp\(^3\)d\(^3\); distorted octahedral (IV) sp\(^3\)d\(^2\); square pyramidal
  • A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
  • A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
  • A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III✔️
  • A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
Correct Answer Explanation
XeO\(_3\): 3 bond pairs + 1 lone pair → sp\(^3\), pyramidal (II). XeF\(_2\): 2 bond pairs + 3 lone pairs → sp\(^3\)d, linear (I). XeOF\(_4\): 5 bond pairs + 1 lone pair → sp\(^3\)d\(^2\), square pyramidal (IV). XeF\(_6\): 6 bond pairs + 1 lone pair → sp\(^3\)d\(^3\), distorted octahedral (III). Matching: A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.
