$\mathrm{XeF}_{6}$ on partial hydrolysis gives a compound $X$, which has square pyramidal geometry ' $X$ ' is

• A

  $\mathrm{XeO}_{3}$
• B

  $\mathrm{XeO}_{4}$
• Correct answer
  C

  $\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}$
• D

  $\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}$

Solution

$\mathrm{XeF}_{6}$ on partial hydrolysis with water gives $\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}$. The reaction involve is as follows The reaction involve is as follows $\mathrm{XeF}_{6}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{XeOF}_{4}+2 \mathrm{HF}$ The structure of $\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}$ is

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
