MCQ
In $Xe{O_3}$ and $Xe{F_6}$ the oxidation state of $Xe$ is
  • A
    $+4$
  • $+6$
  • C
    $+1$
  • D
    $+3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$+6$
(b) The oxidation state of $Xe$ in both $Xe{O_3}$ and $Xe{F_6}$ is $+ 6$

$\mathop {Xe{O_3}}\limits^{ * \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} $                $\mathop {Xe{F_6}}\limits^{ * \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} $

$x - 2 \times 3 = 0$ $x - 6 = 0$
$x = + 6$                 $x = + 6$
