Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 297
Question: Which of the following have distorted octahedral structure-
Options:
A) $ SF_6 $
B) $ P{F^{\odot }}_6 $
C) $ Si{F^{2-}}_6 $
D) $ XeF_6 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- $ AB_6 $ E type ( $ :XeF_6 $ ) have $ sp^{3}d^{3} $ hybridisation with TBP geometry and it should have pentagonal pyramid shape. But this case is an exception in which it has distorted structure.
