Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(+6,103^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Xe}\) in \(\mathrm{XeO}_3\) can be calculate as \(\mathrm{XeO}_3, x+(-2 \times 3)=0\) \(x=+6\) \(\mathrm{XeO}_3\) has \(s p^3\)-hybridisation with bond angle \(=103^{\circ}\)
