XeF₆ undergoes partial hydrolysis as : XeF₆ + H₂O → P ; XeF₆ + 2H₂O → Q. Select the INCORRECT statement regarding P and Q :-

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

P = XeOF₄ (square pyramidal, O apical, four adjacent 90° F-Xe-F angles, one lone pair) and Q = XeO₂F₂ (see-saw, one lone pair), so (A) and (B) are correct; each Xe=O bond is pπ-dπ in the textbook convention, so (D) is correct. Complete hydrolysis gives XeO₃ (XeF₆ + 3H₂O → XeO₃ + 6HF), which is PYRAMIDAL (3 bond pairs + 1 lone pair), not trigonal planar - so (C) is the incorrect statement.
