Xenon fluorides are reactive. The products of hydrolysis are XeOF 4 and XeO 2 F 2 where the oxidation states of all the elements remain the same as it was in the reacting state. Thus, hydrolysis of XeF 6 is not a redox reaction.

Xenon fluorides are reactive. The products of hydrolysis are XeOF4​ and XeO2​F2​ where the oxidation states of all the elements remain the same as it was in the reacting state. Thus, hydrolysis of XeF6​ is not a redox reaction.

Xenon fluorides are reactive. The products of hydrolysis are $X e O F_{4}$ and $X e O_{2} F_{2}$ where the oxidation states of all the elements remain the same as it was in the reacting state. Thus, hydrolysis of $X e F_{6}$ is not a redox reaction.
