`XeF_(4) and XeF_(6)` are expected to be

A

reducing

B

oxidising

C

unreactive

D

strongly basic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(b) `Xe F_6 and Xe F_4` both are oxidising agent. The reactions in this support are as follows:
`Xe F_6 + 3H_(2) to Xe + 6 HF` (Oxidation of `H_(2)` )
`Xe F_(4) + 4 KI to 4KF + Xe + 2I_(2)` (Oxidation of `I^(-)` )
