When \(\mathrm{SbF}_5\) reacts with \(\mathrm{XeF}_4\) to form an adduct, the shapes of cation and anion in the adduct respectively are
  1. square planar, trigonal bipyramidal
  2. T-shaped, octahedral
  3. square pyramidal, octahedral
  4. plane triangular, trigonal bipyramidal

Solution

In the reaction between \(\mathrm{XeF}_4\) and \(\mathrm{SbF}_5, \mathrm{XeF}_4\) acts as flouride \(\left(\mathrm{F}^{-}\right)\)donor.
