Among the following molecules, `(i)XeO_(3)(ii)XeOF_(4)(iii)XeF_(6)` those having same number of lone pairs on `Xe` are:

A

1 and 2 only

B

1 and 3 only

C

2 and 3 only

D

1, 2 and 3.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Complete hydrolysis of `XeF_(4)` give `Xe` and `XeO_(3)` while partial hydrolysis give `XeOF_(2)`.
`6XeF_(4) + 12H_(2)O rarr 4Xe + 2XeO_(3) + 24HF + 3O_(2) XeF_(4) + H_(2)O rarr XeOF_(2) + 2HF`
Since Xe does not appear as one of the products of hydrolyses option is incorrect and option D is correct.

The approximate shape of a molecule can often be predicted by using what is called the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model. Electrons in bonds and in lone pairs can be thought of a ''charge cloud'' that repel one another nad stay as far apart as possible, thus causing molecules to assume specific shapes. The repulsive interactions of electron pairs decrease in the order: Lone pair - Lone pair gt Lone pair - Bond pair gt Bond pair - Bond pair These repulsive effects result in deviations from idealised shapes and alteration in bond angles in molecules.
