Q. $XeF_6$ on complete hydrolysis yields $X$ . The molecular formula of $X$ and its geometry, respectively are

KVPYKVPY 2014

Solution:

$XeF_6$ on complete hydrolysis yield $XeO_3 (X)$
$XeF_{6}+3H_{2}O\rightarrow XeO_{3}+6HF$
$Xe$ has eight valence electrons. It forms $3$ bond pairs with oxygen and has one lone pair. This its geometry will be pyramidal
