    Identify the correct statement for the two reactions given below
    Question

    Identify the correct statement for the two reactions given below

    A.

    B.

    C.

    D.

    Correct option is D

    Xenon fluorides are strong oxidizing agents and form complexes with,

    ​they are used in the preparation of compounds containing Xe-O and Xe-N bonds.

    The reactions of the xenon fluorides are similar to those of the high oxidation state interhalogens, and redox and metathesis reactions dominate.

    The reaction of XeF4 with the Lewis base F- in acetonitrile (cyanomethane,

    In the above reaction, XeFacts as an acid. A Lewis acid  is a chemical species that contains an empty orbital which is capable of accepting an electron pair from a Lewis base to form a Lewis adduct. A Lewis base, then, is any species that has a filled orbital containing an electron pair which is not involved in bonding but may form a dative bond with a Lewis acid to form a Lewis adduct.

    The XeF5- ion is pentagonal planar, and in the VSEPR model the two electron pairs on Xe occupy axial positions on opposite sides of the plane.

    Xe donates an electron to form a monopositive ion (Xe+) and PtF6 accepts an electron to form a mononegative ion [PtF6]-.
