The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The reactions involved are as follows:

$XeF _{6}+ H _{2} O \rightarrow \underset{( X )}{\overset{+6}{Xe} OF _{4}}+2 HF$
$\underset{(X)}{XeOF _4}+ H _{2} O \rightarrow \underset{( Y )}{\overset{+6}{Xe} O _{2} F _{2}}+2 HF$

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:
