Q53 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

Match the compounds given in column I with the hybridization and shape given in column II and mark the correct option.
 
  Column I   Column II
(a) XeF6 (i) Distorted octahedral
(b) XeO3 (ii) Square planar
(c) XeOF4 (iii) Pyramidal
(d) XeF4 (iv) Square pyramidal

  • Correct answer
    A
    abciiiiiv    dii
  • B
    abciiiiv    diii
  • C
    abciviiii    dii
  • D
    abciviii    diii

Solution

Molecule Hybridization Shape as per VSEPR Theory
1 XeF6 sp3d3 Distored octahedron
2 XeO3 sp3 Pyramidal
3 XeOF4 sp3d2 Square Pyramidal
4 XeF4 sp3d2 Square planar

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
