Which of the following Xenon compound does not produce explosive $$XeO_3$$ on its complete hydrolysis?

A$$XeO_2F_2$$
B$$XeF_2$$
Correct Answer
C$$XeF_4$$
D$$XeF_6$$

Solution

The hydrolysis of the following compounds yield :

$$XeO_2F_2 + H_2O \rightarrow XeO_3 + HF$$

$$XeF_2 + H_2O \rightarrow Xe + HF + O_2$$

$$XeF_4 + H_2O \rightarrow XeO_3 + Xe + O_2 + HF$$

$$XeO_2F_2 + H_2O \rightarrow XeO_3 + HF$$

$$XeO_3$$ is not produced in the hydrolysis of $$XeF_2$$.
Hence, option B is correct.
