${[X e O_{6}]}^{4 -}$ is octahedral whereas $X e F_{6}$ is a disordered one, because

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Due to the presence of six fluoride ligands and one lone pair of electrons in $X e F_{6}$ , the structure lacks perfect octahedral symmetry and is disordered. In ${[X e O_{6}]}^{4 -}$ all the valence shell electrons of xenon are involved in the bonding with oxygen and hence, no lone pair of electrons is present. So, it has perfect octahedral geometry.
