JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
According to Lewis theory, the total number of \(\sigma\) bond-pairs and lone pair of electrons around the central atom of \(XeO_6^{4-}\) ion is _____.
- A 2
- B 3
- C 6
- D 8
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 6
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The central atom in \(XeO_6^{4-}\) is Xenon (Xe). The number of valence electrons in Xe is \(8\). Let the oxidation state of Xe in \(XeO_6^{4-}\) be \(x\). \(x + 6(-2) = -4\) \(x = +8\) Since the oxidation state of Xe is \(+8\), all \(8\) of its valence electrons are involved in…
