Answer #1

Answer:

XeF2 has linear molecular geometry   but structure is trigonal bipyramidal.

The molecule has 22 valence electrons. There are five electron pairs around xenon (two bonding pairs and three lone pairs). The electron arrangement is trigonal bipyramidal. The shape is linear because the lone pairs prefer the equatorial positions. The bond angle will be 180°
