Xeo2f2 Lewis Structure Molecular Geometry

The Lewis structure of XeO2F2 can be drawn by placing the xenon (Xe) atom in the center, surrounded by two oxygen (O) atoms and two fluorine (F) atoms.

Xe-O bonds are double bonds while Xe-F bonds are single bonds. Therefore, there are four electron pairs around the central Xe atom, resulting in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry.

The two lone pairs of electrons on the Xe atom occupy equatorial positions, while the O and F atoms occupy axial positions. The molecular geometry of XeO2F2 is therefore T-shaped.
