$XeOF_4$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The structure of $ClF_5$ is square pyramidal,which is based on $sp^3d^2$ hybridization with one lone pair of electrons on the central chlorine atom.$XeOF_4$ has the central xenon atom bonded to four fluorine atoms and one oxygen atom (double bond).Using the $VSEPR$ theory,the steric number for $Xe$ in $XeOF_4$ is $5$ (four single bonds + one double bond) plus one lone pair,resulting in $sp^3d^2$ hybridization.Thus,$XeOF_4$ also exhibits a square pyramidal geometry,making it isostructural with $ClF_5$.
