What is the correct shape of XeO 4 and how can it be explained? Will pi bonds cause the shape to be square planar or will it be tetrahedral like a normal case? Similarly, will XeO 2 be linear because of pi bonds or bent like a normal case or square planar because of polymerism? Please help.

Question

Ashutosh Sharma · Answer

tetrahedral as because of sp3 hybridization and it can’t be a square planer as you always need 6 bonds for that.
and in case ofXeO2 it;s shape will be linear as because of sp3 but it dosen’t have that number of bonds to give tetrahedral shape.
