In the molecule XeF₂,how many pairs of electrons surround Xe and what is the molecular geometry? A)4,bent B)4,pyramidal C)5,linear D)5,bent E)6,linear

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

XeF2 has 5 pairs of electrons around the central xenon atom: 2 bonding pairs and 3 lone pairs. The molecular geometry is linear due to the arrangement of these electron pairs, which minimizes repulsion.
