Question

Select TRUE statement about the molecule/structure as shown below

Moderate

A

The molecule exists but the shape shown is wrong as per VSEPR
B

The lone pair shown must be actually 180⁰with each other not as shown
C

The lone pair electrons must be 90⁰ with each other in the stable structure
D

The molecule is AB₄L₂ as per VSEPR theory

Solution

${XeF}_{4} = {sp}^{3} d^{2} = Square planar molecule$ . The molecule is AB4L2 molecule and the lone pair must be stable if they are 180⁰, since it may create least repulsions.
