Vedclass · Answer

(D) molecule possesses a distorted geometry if the central atom has one or more lone pairs $(L.P.)$ of electrons,which cause repulsion and deviate the bond angles from the ideal geometry.$1$. $XeF_2$ has $3$ $L.P.$ on $Xe$ (linear,but often considered distorted from trigonal bipyramidal).$2$. $XeF_4$ has $2$ $L.P.$ on $Xe$ (square planar).$3$. $XeO_3$ has $1$ $L.P.$ on $Xe$ (pyramidal).$4$. $XeOF_2$ has $1$ $L.P.$ on $Xe$ ($T$-shaped).$5$. $NH_3$ has $1$ $L.P.$ on $N$ (pyramidal).$6$. $SO_2$ has $1$ $L.P.$ on $S$ (bent).$7$. $H_2O$ has $2$ $L.P.$ on $O$ (bent).Since all the listed molecules contain lone pairs on their central atoms,they all exhibit distorted geometries.
