$XeCl_4$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Xenon is a noble gas that forms compounds primarily with highly electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen. $XeF_4$,$XeO_3$,and $XeO_2F_2$ are well-known stable compounds of xenon. However,$XeCl_4$ cannot be formed because chlorine is not sufficiently electronegative to stabilize the xenon-chlorine bond,and the large size of the chlorine atom leads to steric hindrance and instability in the coordination sphere of xenon. Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$A$. $XeF_4$	$1$. Pyramidal
$B$. $XeF_6$	$2$. $T$-shape
$C$. $XeO_3$	$3$. Distorted octahedral
$D$. $XeOF_2$	$4$. Square planar
