At 143 K, the reaction of XeF4 with O2F2 produces a xenon compound Y. The total number of lone pair(s) of electrons present on the whole molecule of Y is __________

Solution

XeF4 + O2F2  XeF6 + O2

So Y is XeF6

Each F atom contains three lone pairs and Xe atom contain one lone pair.

so total lone pair=3×6+1=19

Total L.P=19.
