Question

12.(i) Draw the resonating structures of ozone
molecule.
(ii) (a) Draw the structure of
H3PO4, (HPO3)3 .
(b) Does the hydrolysis of XeF6 lead to a
redox reaction?
is​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 . (i) Ozone, or O3 , has two major resonance structures that contribute equally to the overall hybrid structure of the molecule. Both structures account for the needed 18 valence electrons - 6 from 3 bonds and 12 as lone pairs placed on the oxygen atoms.

Explanation:

(ii)(a) iN pic

(b) When XeF6 undergoes hydrolysis, it forms XeOF4 , XeO2F2 and XeO3 as products

In these compounds, there is no change in oxidation state of Xe . Thus, the hydrolysis of XeF   is not a redox reaction.
