Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \begin{aligned} \mathrm{XeF}_6+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{XeO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2 \\ \sigma \text {-bond }=4 \\ \pi \text {-bond }=2 \end{aligned}\\ \text { Total sigma } \pi \text { bond }=6 \end{aligned}\)
