Solution

The correct option is D It gives $X e O_{3}$ as final product on complete hydrolysis with water along with $H F$
(a) $X e F_{6}$ is colourless solid which sublimes into intensely yellow vapours.

(b) According to VSEPR theory, $X e F_{6}$ has 6 bond pairs and 1 lone pair so hybridises into $s p^{3} d^{3}$ .

(c) $X e F_{6} + R u F_{5} ⟶ [X e F_{5}]^{+} [R u F_{6}]^{-}$

(d) $X e F_{6} + 3 H_{2} O ⟶ X e O_{3} + 6 H F$
