Which is incorrect statement for `XeF_(2)`?

Options

A. It has linear structure
B. It is hydrolysed rapidly in aqueous solution of a base
C. It oxidises `Cl^(-1)` and `I^(-1)` respectively
D. It cannot acts as `F^(-)` donor

Answer

D

Explanation

It acts as a `F^(-)` donor and forms complexes with covalent fluorides like `PF_(6), AsF_(6)`s and `SBF_(5)`.
`XeF_(2)+PF_(5)to[XeF]^(+)[PF_(6)]^(-)`
a. The structure of `XeF_(2)` is
`F-overset(..)(X)e-F`
b. `2XeF_(2)+2H_(2)Oto2Xe+4HF+O_(2)`
c. (i) `XeF_(2)+2HCl to 2HF+Xe+Cl_(2)`
(ii) `XeF_(2)+2KItoXe+2KF+I_(2)`
