Question

Which of the following is not correct about xenon hexafluoride? (A) It has oxidation state of +6 (B) The hybridisation involved in XeF6 is sp3d3 (C) The shape of XeF6 is distorted octahedral and can be represented as (D) On hydrolysis it gives Xe, HF and O2

On hydrolysis the products formed are XeO3 and HF. XeF6 + 3H2O → XeO3 + 6HF

Q. Which of the following is not correct about xenon hexafluoride?

It has oxidation state of $+ 6$

The hybridisation involved in $X e F_{6}$ is $s p^{3} d^{3}$

The shape of $X e F_{6}$ is distorted octahedral and can be represented as

On hydrolysis it gives $X e$ , $H F$ and $O_{2}$

On hydrolysis the products formed are $X e O_{3}$ and $H F$ .
$X e F_{6} + 3 H_{2} O \to X e O_{3} + 6 H F$
