Options
A.it forms an explosive having the formula XeO2F2
B.it forms an explosive having the formula XeOF4
C.it forms XeO2 which is explosive substance
D.it forms XeO64- which is explosive in nature
Solution
2XeF6 + SiO2 → 2XeOF4 + SiF4
(glass) (explosive nature)
2XeOF4 + SiO2 → 2XeO2F2 + SiF4
2XeO2F2 + SiO2 → 2XeO3 + SiF4
(explosive)
(glass) (explosive nature)
2XeOF4 + SiO2 → 2XeO2F2 + SiF4
2XeO2F2 + SiO2 → 2XeO3 + SiF4
