Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
P block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Their valence shell electronic configuration is \(ns^2 np^{1-6}\). Group 16 of the p block elements are known as the group of chalcogens having \(ns^2 np^4\) as their general electronic configuration. They exhibit number of oxidation states but the stability of \(- 2\) oxidation state decreases down the group. They are sometimes also known as group of chalcogens as the name is derived from the Greek word for brass and points to the association of sulphur and its congeners with copper. Their ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group. Oxygen shows anomalous behaviour due to its small size and high electronegativity.
What will be the products formed in the following equation?

  1. A \(UF_4(g)\) and \(3UCl(g)\)
  2. B \(UF_6(g)\) and \(3ClF(g)\)
  3. C \(UF_4(g)\) and \(3ClF(g)\)
  4. D \(UF_6(g)\) and \(3UCl(g)\)
Verified Solution
