MCAT Question of the Day
    •

    Q:

    		 A molecule with square planar geometry, like XeF4 has different geometry from SiCl4 because:
    		 

    A

    		 Xe is an inert gas.

    B

    		 Fluorine is more electronegative than Xenon.

    C

    		 The bond angles for the square planar geometry are larger than for the tetrahedral geometry, making XeF4 more stable as a square planar molecule.

    D

    		 XeF4 has two lone pairs in addition to the four bonds.
