The oxidation state of $\mathrm{Xe}$ in $\mathrm{XeO}_3$ and the bond angle in it respectively are:

The oxidation state of $\mathrm{Xe}$ in $\mathrm{XeO}_3$ and the bond angle in it respectively are:
  1. $+6,109^{\circ}$
  2. $+8,103^{\circ}$
  3. $+6,103^{\circ}$
  4. $+8,120^{\circ}$

Solution

The oxidation state of $\mathrm{Xe}$ in $\mathrm{XeO}_3$ can be calculate as $\mathrm{XeO}_3, x+(-2 \times 3)=0$ $x=+6$ $\mathrm{XeO}_3$ has $s p^3$-hybridisation with bond angle $=103^{\circ}$
