At 143 K, the reaction of `XeF_4` with `O_2F_2` produces a xenon compound Y. The total number of lone pair(s) of electrons present on the whole molecule of Y is………….

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
19
The reaction is `XeF_(4)+O_(2)F_(2) to underset(Y)(XeF_(6))+O_(2)`, where `XeF_(6)` has a distorted octahedral geometry with one lone pair on Xe and each of the 6F has 3 lone paris, thus giving a total of 1+3(6)=19
