A + `O_(2)` `F_(2)` `rarr` `B+O_(2)`, A,B are fluorides of xenon the difference in the oxidation state of Xe in these
1. 2

4. 1

State the difference between the following : (a) 2H and H_2 (b) H_2 O and 3H_2 O ?

In the clathrates of xenon with water the nature of bonding in Xe and H_(2)O molecule is

HCIO_(4)+P_(2)O_(5)rarr(A)+(B) (A) and (B) are

In the reaction 2H_(2)O_(2)rarr2H_(2)O+O_(2) oxidation state of oxygen change as :

Xe + O_2F_2 rarr A+B A + H_2O rarr B+C+ Xe A, B and C are:

Assertion : In the reaction, (1)/(2)O_(2)+F_(2)rarrOF_(2) Fluorine is oxidant. Reason :- Fluorine cannot show positive oxidation state.

Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)overset(Delta)toNaBO_(2)+B_(2)O_(3) NaBO_(2)+H_(2)O_(2)+H_(2)O to compound A(aq) The compound A the sum of oxidation states of all the oxygen atoms is X . Then the value of (X) is

Explain the following giving an appropriate reason in each case. (i) O_(2) and F_(2) both stabilize higher oxidation states of metals but O_(2) exceeds F_(2) in doing so. (ii) Structure of Xenon fluorides cannot be explained by Valence Bond approach.

Find a matrix X such that 2A+B+X=O , where A=[-1 2 3 4] , B=[3-2 1 5]

Assertion: Oxygen atom in both O_(2) and O_(3) has oxidation number zero. Reason: In F_(2)O , oxidation number of O is +2 .
