Question

Draw the molecular structures of XeF2, XeF4 and XeO2F2 indicating the location of lone pair(s) of electrons.

Use the formula H(hydridisation), H = 1/2 (V + M &ndash; C + A) where V = number of electron in valence shell of central atom M = number f monovalent atoms surrounding the central atom C = Charge on cation A = Charge on anion XeF2 : H = 1/2 (8 + 2 &ndash; 0 + 0) = 5 Hence hybridization is sp3d, and thus its structure is linear. XeF4 : H = 1/2 (8 + 4 &ndash; 0 + 0) = 6, Hence hybridization is sp3d2 and thus its structure is square planar. XeO2F2 : H = 1/2 (8 + 2 &ndash; 0 + 0) = 5, Hence hybridization is sp3d and shape is see saw.
