Question

XeF2 can be preoared by

Answer 1

Answer:

Xenon difluoride(XeF2)

It is prepared by heating a mixture of Xenon and fluorine in the ration 2:1 at 400 degree Celsius and 1 bar pressure in a sealed nickel tube. XeF2 undergoes hydrolysis when treated with water an d evolves oxygen. In XeF2, Xenon is sp3d hybridised and the molecule has linear structure as shown

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A mixture of xenon and fluorine (2:1) is passed through nickel tube at 400 deg C.

Xe+F 2

400o CNi

​XeF2

​XeF2 has linear structure with XeF2

​ bond angle of 180 deg.

Xe atom has 2 bond pairs and 3 lone pairs of electrons. Xe atom is sp 3d hybridized.
