Vedclass · Answer

(B) $XeF_6$ hydrolyses to give $XeO_3$ and $HF$.$XeF_6 + 3 H_2O \longrightarrow XeO_3 + 6 HF$Structure of $XeF_6$:$Xe$ has $8$ valence electrons. $XeF_6$ has $6$ bond pairs and $1$ lone pair with $sp^3d^3$-hybridisation. Due to the presence of the lone pair,its structure is distorted octahedral.Structure of $XeO_3$:$XeO_3$ has $3$ bond pairs and $1$ lone pair with $sp^3$-hybridisation. Thus,its structure is pyramidal.

$A. \ XeO_3$	$I. \ sp^3 d, \text{linear}$
$B. \ XeF_2$	$II. \ sp^3, \text{pyramidal}$
$C. \ XeOF_4$	$III. \ sp^3 d^3, \text{distorted octahedral}$
$D. \ XeF_6$	$IV. \ sp^3 d^2, \text{square pyramidal}$

$XeF_6$ hydrolyses to give an oxide. The structures of $XeF_6$ and the oxide,respectively are
