MHT CET 2024 Chemistry question
Identify the structure of molecule from following
Answer: (C)
Solution
Xe has 8 valence electrons; four are used in bonding with four F atoms, leaving 2 lone pairs. Steric number = 4 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs = 6, so the electron geometry is octahedral ( hybridisation). The two lone pairs occupy opposite (trans)
