The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the thermal decomposition of \( \text{XeF}_6 \), we need to analyze the decomposition reaction and the products formed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Compound**: - \( \text{XeF}_6 \) is xenon hexafluoride, a compound of xenon (a noble gas) and fluorine (a halogen). 2. **Thermal Decomposition Reaction**: - When \( \text{XeF}_6 \) is heated, it undergoes thermal decomposition. This means that the compound breaks down into simpler substances. 3. **Identifying the Products**: - The thermal decomposition of \( \text{XeF}_6 \) can be represented by the following reaction: \[ \text{XeF}_6 \rightarrow \text{XeF}_4 + \text{XeF}_2 + \text{F}_2 \] - From this reaction, we can see that the products formed are: - \( \text{XeF}_4 \) (xenon tetrafluoride) - \( \text{XeF}_2 \) (xenon difluoride) - \( \text{F}_2 \) (fluorine gas) 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the thermal decomposition of \( \text{XeF}_6 \) produces \( \text{XeF}_2 \), \( \text{XeF}_4 \), and \( \text{F}_2 \). 5. **Selecting the Correct Option**: - Based on the products formed, the correct answer to the question is: - **All of the above** (which includes \( \text{XeF}_2 \), \( \text{XeF}_4 \), and \( \text{F}_2 \)). ### Final Answer: The correct option is **D) all of the above**. ---
