Question

Match List I with List II:

List I (Formula)	List II (Structure)
A. XeO4	I. Pyramidal
B. XeO2F2	II. Tetrahedral
C. XeF4	III. Trigonal bipyramidal
D. XeO3	IV. Square planar

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

---

• A. (A)- (II), (B)- (III), (C)- (IV), (D)- (I)
• B. (A)- (II), (B)- (IV), (C)- (III), (D)- (I)
• C. (A)- (I), (B)- (II), (C)- (IV), (D)- (III)
• D. (A)- (I), (B)- (III), (C)- (IV), (D)- (II)

Hint:

In xenon compounds, the structure depends on the number of bonds and lone pairs on the central atom.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

XeO has a tetrahedral structure.
XeOF has a trigonal bipyramidal structure.
XeF has a square planar structure.
