Vedclass · Answer

(C) To determine the planar structure,we analyze the hybridization and geometry of each molecule:$1$. $O_2SF_2$: Sulfur is $sp^3$ hybridized with a tetrahedral geometry,which is non-planar.$2$. $OSF_2$: Sulfur is $sp^3$ hybridized with a trigonal pyramidal geometry (due to one lone pair),which is non-planar.$3$. $XeF_4$: Xenon has $8$ valence electrons. It forms $4$ bonds with $F$ atoms and has $2$ lone pairs. The steric number is $6$ ($sp^3d^2$ hybridization). According to $VSEPR$ theory,the $2$ lone pairs occupy axial positions to minimize repulsion,resulting in a square planar geometry.$4$. $ClO_4^-$: Chlorine is $sp^3$ hybridized with a tetrahedral geometry,which is non-planar.Therefore,$XeF_4$ is the molecule with a square planar structure.

$(B)$ $BF_3$	$(II)$ $T$-shape
$(C)$ $ClF_3$	$(III)$ Trigonal pyramidal
$(D)$ $XeF_4$	$(IV)$ See-saw
	$(V)$ Trigonal planar
