Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
The noble gases have closed shell electronic configuration and are monatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of lighter noble gases are due to the weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other inter atomic interaction. The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers \(+2, +4\) and \(+6\).
\(\text{XeF}_4\) reacts violently with water to give \(\text{XeO}_3\). The compound of Xenon exhibit stereoisomerism and their geometries can be deduced considering the total number of electrons in the valence shell.
Structure of \(\text{XeO}_3\) is:
- A Linear
- B Planar
- C Pyramidal
- D T- Shaped
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Pyramidal
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Valence electrons on \( \text{Xe} = 8 \) Electrons used in bonding to \( 3 \) oxygen atoms (\( 3 \times 2 = 6 \text{e}^- \)) Lone pairs on \( \text{Xe} = (8 - 6)/2 = 1 \) Steric number = \( 3 \) (bond pairs) \( + 1 \) (lone pair) \( = 4 \) Geometry (AX\(_3\)E\(_1\)) is Pyramidal

Aldehydes and ketones are important organic compounds prepared mainly by oxidation of alcohols. Primary alcohols give aldehyde and secondary alcohols yield ketones. Aldehydes can also be formed by partial reduction of acid chlorides, reduction of esters or by Gattermann-Koch reaction. Ketones are prepared by Friedel-Craft's acylation, hydration of alkyne and reaction of Grignard's reagent with nitriles. Chemically, aldehydes and ketones are reactive in nature due to the carbonyl group and undergo nucleophilic addition reactions. Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones and can be oxidized to carboxylic acids, while both can be reduced to alcohols or hydrocarbons and exhibit condensation reaction.
