Vedclass · Answer

(D) To determine the number of atoms in the same plane,we analyze the geometry of each molecule:$1$. $XeF_2O_2$: It has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with two lone pairs (or distorted structure). The maximum number of atoms in a single plane is $3$.$2$. $PCl_5$: It has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The equatorial plane contains the central $P$ atom and $3$ $Cl$ atoms,totaling $4$ atoms in the same plane.$3$. $AsH_4^+$: It has a tetrahedral geometry. Any $3$ atoms define a plane,but only $3$ atoms can lie in the same plane simultaneously.$4$. $XeF_4$: It has a square planar geometry. The central $Xe$ atom and the $4$ $F$ atoms all lie in the same plane,totaling $5$ atoms.Therefore,$XeF_4$ has the maximum number of atoms $(5)$ in the same plane.

List-$I$ (Shape)	List-$II$ (Example)
$(1)$ Linear $(B-A-B)$	$(A)$ $PCl_5$
$(2)$ Trigonal planar	$(B)$ $CH_4$
$(3)$ Tetrahedral	$(C)$ $HgCl_2$
$(4)$ Trigonal bipyramidal	$(D)$ $BF_3$
