Question

Which of the following shape are not possible for possible value of 'n' in XeF_n molecule?

Moderate

A

Linear
B

Square planar
C

Trigonal planar
D

Capped octahedral

Solution

In XeF_n, possible value of n is 2,4,6,8, then compound should be XeF₂ (linear), XeF₄ (square planar), XeF₆ (capped octahedral). So in this case trigonal planar molecule does not possible.
