Which of the following is not correct for given reaction :-
`XeF_(6)overset(+H_(2)O)rarrBoverset(+H_(2)O)rarrC`

Options

A. C is `XeO_(3)` and pyramidal in shape
B. B is `XeOF_(2)`
C. A is `XeOF_(4)` and has `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation
D. A, B and C have same state of Xe

Answer

To solve the question regarding the reaction of xenon hexafluoride (XeF₆) with water and to determine which statement is not correct, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the Reaction
The reaction given is:
\[ \text{XeF}_6 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{B} \]
\[ \text{B} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C} \]

### Step 2: Determine the Products
1. When xenon hexafluoride (XeF₆) reacts with water, it forms xenon oxytetrafluoride (XeOF₄).
2. The next reaction involves xenon oxytetrafluoride (XeOF₄) reacting with water to produce xenon trioxide (XeO₃).

### Step 3: Assign the Products
- **A**: XeF₆
- **B**: XeOF₄
- **C**: XeO₃

### Step 4: Analyze the Statements
We need to analyze the statements provided about the reaction products and their properties. The statements often include:
1. The identity of the products.
2. The oxidation states of xenon in the products.
3. The hybridization and molecular geometry of the products.

### Step 5: Determine the Oxidation States
- In XeF₆, the oxidation state of xenon (Xe) is +6.
- In XeOF₄, the oxidation state of xenon is also +6.
- In XeO₃, the oxidation state of xenon remains +6.

### Step 6: Analyze Hybridization and Geometry
1. **XeOF₄**:
- Xe has 8 valence electrons.
- It forms 4 bonds with fluorine and 1 bond with oxygen, leaving 1 lone pair.
- Hybridization: sp³d² (octahedral geometry with one lone pair, resulting in a square pyramidal shape).

2. **XeO₃**:
- Xe forms 3 bonds with oxygen and has 1 lone pair.
- Hybridization: sp³ (trigonal pyramidal shape).

### Step 7: Identify the Incorrect Statement
After analyzing the statements based on the products and their properties, we can conclude:
- If any statement incorrectly identifies the product or its properties (like oxidation state, hybridization, or shape), that would be the answer.

### Conclusion
The incorrect statement is likely the one that misidentifies the product B as XeOF₂ instead of XeOF₄.

### Final Answer
The answer to the question is that the statement regarding product B being XeOF₂ is **not correct**.
