XENON TRIOXIDE :

Go Back

Xenon trioxide (XeO3) is prepared by complete hydrolysis of XeF4 and XeF6

6XeF4 + 12H2 —> 2XeO3 + 4Xe + 3O2 + 24 HF

XeF6 + 3H2O —> XeO3 + 6 HF

Structure :XeO3 has tetrahedral geometry due to sp3 hybridization of Xe. One of the hybrid orbitals contains a lone pair of electrons giving a trigonal pyramidal shape. The molecule has three Xe = O double bonds containing pπ – dπ overlapping.

Properties : It is a colorless solid, highly explosive and powerful oxidizing agent.
