Question

Xenon tetrafluoride, $$XeF_{4}$$ is:

A
tetrahedral and acts as a fluoride donor with $$SbF_{5}$$
B
square planar and acts as a fluoride donor with $$PF_{5}$$
C
square planar and acts as a fluoride donor with $$NaF$$
D
see-saw shape and acts as a fluoride donor with $$AsF_{5}$$
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is B. square planar and acts as a fluoride donor with $$PF_{5}$$
the shape of xenon tetrafluoride, XeF4 is not tetrahedral. It is assumed that the shape of xenon tetrafluoride is square planar like $$PF_5$$ molecule
