The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the nature of the compounds XeF4 and XeF6, we will follow a step-by-step approach: ### Step 1: Understand the Oxidation States - Xenon (Xe) is a noble gas and typically has a stable oxidation state of 0. However, when it forms compounds with highly electronegative elements like fluorine, it can exhibit positive oxidation states. - In XeF4, xenon has an oxidation state of +4. - In XeF6, xenon has an oxidation state of +6. ### Step 2: Analyze the Stability of Oxidation States - Noble gases are generally stable due to their completely filled valence shells. - When xenon is in a higher oxidation state (like +4 or +6), it is less stable compared to its zero oxidation state. - Therefore, xenon will tend to reduce its oxidation state to achieve a more stable configuration. ### Step 3: Determine the Nature of the Compounds - Compounds with xenon in higher oxidation states (like XeF4 and XeF6) can act as oxidizing agents. This is because they can accept electrons and reduce their oxidation state. - Since xenon in these compounds is trying to reduce its oxidation state, it exhibits oxidizing behavior. ### Step 4: Conclusion - Based on the analysis, we conclude that XeF4 and XeF6 are expected to exhibit oxidizing nature. ### Final Answer - The nature of XeF4 and XeF6 is oxidizing. ---
