Xenon hexafluoride react with silica to form a xenon compound (X). The oxidation state of Xe in (X) is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`2XeF_6+SiO_2to2XeOF_4+SiF_4`
Let oxidation state of Xe in `X` i.e., `XeOF_4` is `a`
`a+(-2)xx1+(-1)4=0impliesa=+6`
i.e., oxidation state of Xe in `XeOF_4` is `+6`.
