Predict the species having same shape like :

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C
Solution:

Shape of TeCl₄

Central atom: Te

Steric number = 5 → sp³d hybridization

Lone pairs = 1

Shape = see-saw (distorted trigonal bipyramidal)

(A) IO₂F₂⁻

Steric number = 5, 1 lone pair

See-saw shape

(B) Xenon trioxide

Steric number = 4, 1 lone pair

Trigonal pyramidal

(C) SbF₄⁻

Steric number = 5, 1 lone pair

See-saw shape

(D) BrF₄⁻

Steric number = 6, 2 lone pairs

Square planar
