Question

A xenon compound ' $A$ ' upon partial hydrolysis gives $\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}$. The number of lone pair of electrons in compound ' $A$ ' is ______ . (Round off to the Nearest Integer)\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(1) : Partial hydrolysis of $\mathrm{XeF}_{6}$ gives oxyfluorides i.e., $\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}$\ $\mathrm{XeF}_{6}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}+4 \mathrm{HF}$\ $\ddot{\mathrm{X}} \mathrm{eF}_{6}$ has only one lone pair of electrons.\ (Note : In the question, there should be "the no. of lone pair of electrons on central atom in compound $A$ ".)\
