Question : 125 of 160

Marks: +1, -0

XeF4 is square planar where as CCl4 is tetrahedral because

In XeF4 , 'Xe' is sp2 hybridised and in CCl4 ‘C' is sp3 hybridised
In both XeF4 and CCl4 the central atom is sp3 hybridised
In XeF4 'Xe' is sp3d2 hybridised but due to the presence of 2 lone pairs of electrons shape is square planar whereas in CCl4 'C' is sp3 hybridised
Xe is a noble aas. whereas C is a non-metal
