The shape/structure of [XeF5]- and XeO3F2, respectively are :

(1) octahedral and square pyramidal

(2) trigonal bipyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal

(3) trigonal bipyramidal and pentagonal

(4) pentagonal planar and trigonal bipyramidal

Correct answer: (4) pentagonal planar and trigonal bipyramidal

Explanation:

(i) XeF5- → St. No. = (5 + 2) = 7

so hybridisation is = sp3d3

and structure is pentagonal planar.

(ii) XeO3F2 → St. No. = 5

so hybridisation is = sp3d

and structure is trigonal bipyramidal.
