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.
Match List - I with List – II.
List - IList - II
A. Its partial hydrolysis does not change the oxidation state of the central atomI. He
B. It is used in modern diving apparatusII. \(\text{XeF}_6\)
C. It is used to provide inert atmosphere for filling electrical bulbsIII. \(\text{XeF}_4\)
D. Its central atom is in \(\text{sp}^3\text{d}^2\) hybridisation stateIV. Ar
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
  2. B (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
  3. C (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
  4. D (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A. Its partial hydrolysis does not change the oxidation state of the central atom: For \( \text{XeF}_6 \): \( \text{XeF}_6 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{XeOF}_4 + 2\text{HF} \). Oxidation state of Xe is \( +6 \) in both \( \text{XeF}_6 \) and \( \text{XeOF}_4 \). A…
