Correct Answer: 4

Solution and Explanation

\(\text{Xe} + 2\text{O}_2 + \text{F}_2 \rightarrow \text{XeF}_4 + 2\text{O}_2\)
\(3\text{XeF}_4 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2\text{Xe} + \text{XeO}_3 + \frac{23}{2}\text{O}_2 + 12\text{HF}\)
∴ One mole of \(\text{XeF}_4\)​ gives 4 moles of HF on hydrolysis.

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
