\[\text{Xe}{{\text{F}}_{\text{2}}}\] is structural with

A) \[\text{Te}{{\text{F}}_{\text{2}}}\]

B)  \[lCl_{2}^{-}\]

C)   \[SbC{{l}_{3}}\]

D)  \[\text{BaC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}\]

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

Species having the same number of bond pairs and lone pairs are is structural (have same structure).

Species	lp + bp	Structure
\[Xe{{F}_{2}}\]	\[4lp+2bp\]	Linear
\[Te{{F}_{2}}\]	\[2lp+2bp\]	Angular or V-shape
\[lCl_{2}^{-}\]	\[4lp+2bp\]	Linear
\[BaC{{l}_{2}}\]	\[0lp+2bp\]	Cl-Ba-Cl (linear)

Thus, \[Xe{{F}_{2}},\], is structural with \[ICl_{2}^{-}\] and\[BaC{{l}_{2}}.\]
