The reaction of HF with SnO produces P and with 

produces Q. Reaction of one of them (P, Q) with NaF yields the species 

Among the following,

A.

​is obtained from P.

B. In the solid state, P exhibits a ring structure

C. Stereogenic lone pairs of electron are present in both P and Q.

D.Q is a weaker Lewis acid than P.

Identify the correct statements

Correct option is A

When hydrofluoric acid reacts with tin (II) oxide (SnO), the following reaction occurs:

H₂SnF₆ (P)

When HF reacts with tin (IV) chloride (SnCl₄), a Lewis acid-base reaction occurs. SnCl₄ is a Lewis acid because it can accept a pair of electron. HF is a Lewis base because it can donate a pair of electron. The reaction can be represented as follows:

When hydrogen hexafluorostannate (IV) (H₂SnF₆) reacts with sodium fluoride, it forms 

through a complexation reaction.

In the compound SnF₄, the tin atom has +4 oxidation state and forms four strong bonds with fluorine atoms. It does not have readily available vacant orbitals to accept additional electron pairs, making it a weaker Lewis acid.
