Question

Considering VSEPR and find number of molecule(s) in which two "O" atoms are opposite to each other at central atom :- O₃, CO₂, SO₂Cl₂, XeO₃F₂, XeO₂F₄, XeO₄

TestHub · Accepted Answer

O₃ (ozone) → bent

CO₂ → linear → O opposite

SO₂Cl₂ → tetrahedral

XeO₃F₂ → trigonal bipyramidal → O not opposite

XeO₂F₄ → octahedral → O can be opposite

XeO₄ → tetrahedral
