Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A. \(XeF_6\): Valence e- (Xe) = 8. Bond pairs = 6. Lone pairs = \((8 - 6 \times 1)/2 = 1\). SN = 6+1=7. \(\implies sp^3d^3\), Distorted octahedral. B. \(XeO_3\): Valence e- (Xe) = 8. Bond pairs = 3 (O double bonds). Lone pairs = \((8 - 3 \times 2)/2 = 1\). SN = 3+1=4.…
