Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{XeF}_{6}\) on partial hydrolysis with water gives \(\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}\).
The reaction involve is as follows
The reaction involve is as follows
\(\mathrm{XeF}_{6}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{XeOF}_{4}+2 \mathrm{HF}\)
The structure of \(\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}\) is
