1. What Is The Molecular Geometry Of XeO2Cl2?
XeO2Cl2 has a square planar molecular geometry. The Xe atom is located in the center of the square plane, with two oxygen atoms and two chlorine atoms forming four corners around it. The molecule has two lone pairs on the central Xe atom, making its electron pair geometry octahedral, but due to the repulsion between the lone pairs, the molecular geometry becomes square planar.
