Chemistry Question on p -Block Elements

Find out difference in oxidation state of Xe in completely Hydrolysed form of XeF4 and XeF6

Answer

6XeF4+12H2O2XeO3+4Xe+24HF+3O26XeF_4+12H_2O\rightarrow 2XeO_3+4Xe+24HF+3O_2
in XeO3,Oxidation  state  ofXe=+6XeO_3, Oxidation \;state \; of Xe=+6
in XeF4,Oxidation  state  of  Xe=+4XeF_4, Oxidation\;state\;of \;Xe=+4
So difference in oxidation state = 2\text{So difference in oxidation state = 2}

Hence, the correct answer is : 2\text{Hence, the correct answer is : 2}
