Assertion (A): The geometry of

{XeO}_3 {F}_2

is trigonal bipyramidal.
Reason (R):

Xe

shows

sp^3d

hybridisation with three oxygen atoms at equatorial position and two

F

atoms at axial positions.

Correct option: A

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

The correct answer is A (Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)) because

{XeO}_3 {F}_2

indeed has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry due to

sp^3d

hybridization with the described arrangement.
