Which is incorrect statement for `XeF_2?`A. It has linear structureB. It is hydrolysed rapidly in aqueous solution of a baseC. It oxidizes `CI^(-) and I^(-)" to "Cl_2 and I_2` respectivelyD. It cannot act as `F^(-)` donor. |

Answer» Correct Answer - D It act as a `F^(-)` donor and forms complexes with covalent fluroides like `PF_(6), AsF_(6) and SbF_(5)`. `XeF_(2)+PF_(5) to [XeF]^(+) [PF_(6)]^(-)` (a) The five electron pairs form trigonal bipyramidal with three lone pairs in equatoríal positions. Hence, the structure of `XeF_(2)`, becomes linear in accordance with VSEPR theory. |
