XeF 4 reacts with SbF 5 to form XeF m n + SbF y 2 -   m + n + y + z =     ? .
Correct answer
11
Step-by-step solution
Xenon tetrafluoride ( XeF 4 ) is square planar and acts as a fluoride donor with SbF 5 . XeF 4 changes to the cation XeF 3 + and SbF 5 changes to the anion SbF 6 - . XeF 4 + SbF 5 ⟶ XeF 3 + SbF 6 -   m   =   3 ,   n   =   1 ,   y   =   6 ,   z   =   1
