How are Xenon fluorides `XeF_(2),XeF_(4)` and `XeF_(6)` obtained ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Xenon forms the binary fluorides `XeF_(2),XeF_(4),XeF_(6)` as follows. These are formed by direct combination of Xe and `F_(2)`.
`underset(("Xenon in excess"))(Xe+F_(2))underset("1 bar")overset(673" K")toXeF_(2)`
`underset((1:5" ratio"))(Xe+2F_(2))underset(4" bar")overset(873"K")toXeF_(4)`
`underset((1:20" ratio"))(Xe+3F_(2))underset(60-70" bar")overset(573" K")toXeF_(6)`

Xenon tetrafluoride, XeF_4 is :

tetrahedral and acts as a fluoride donor with `SbF_5`

square planar and acts as a fluoride donor with `PF_5`

square planar and acts as fluoride donor with NaF

see-saw shape and acts as a fluoride donor with `AsF_5`

Xe reacts with F_(2) at different ratio to give different types of xenon fluorides. Xe+ Fe rarr XeF_(2) (2:1) Xe +F_(2) rarr XeF_(4) (1:5) Xe + F_(2) rarr XeF_(6) (1: 20) The sbape and hybridisation of XeF_(4 ) is

tetrahedral and `sp^(3)`

square pyramidal and `sp^(3)` d

square planar and `sp^(3)` d

square planar and `sp^(3) d`

Xe reacts with F_(2) at different ratio to give different types of xenon fluorides. Xe+ Fe rarr XeF_(2) (2:1) Xe +F_(2) rarr XeF_(4) (1:5) Xe + F_(2) rarr XeF_(6) (1: 20) Which of the following option is correct regrading XeF_(2)

two fluorine occupy equatorial position

There are total two bond pair and two lone pair present in `XeF_(2)`

Its structure is linear and it is isostructural with `I_(3)^(-)`

Hybridisation of `XeF_(2)` is `sp^(3)`
