JEE Advanced 2012 Chemistry question
The shape of molecule is
Answer: (D)
Solution
Xe has 8 valence electrons. Two Xe=O bonds use 4 electrons and two Xe–F bonds use 2, leaving 2 electrons, i.e. one lone pair. So Xe has 4 bonding domains + 1 lone pair = 5 electron domains, hybridisation, trigonal bipyramidal electron
