Which compound has planar structure?\

Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(a) : In $\mathrm{XeF}_{4}$ the ' Xe ' atom is $s p^{3} d^{2}$ hybridised, which contains two lone pair orbitals and four bond pair orbitals. Therefore, the shape of $\mathrm{XeF}_{4}$ molecule is square planar, with one lone pair orbital over and other below the plane.
