The shape/structure of XeF 5 - and XeO 3 F 2 , respectively are :

The shape/structure ofXeF5- and XeO3F2, respectively are :
  1. pentagonal planar and trigonal bipyramidal
  2. octahedral and square pyramidal
  3. trigonal bipyramidal and pentagonal planar
  4. trigonal bipyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal

Solution

(i) XeF5-
St. No. =(5+2)=7 so hybridisation is=sp3d3 and structure is pentagonal planar.


(ii) XeO3F2   St. No. =5
so hybridisation is =sp3d and structure is trigonal bipyramidal.
