<h3>Answer:</h3>
Rb = + 1
S = + 4
O = - 2
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Oxidation states of the elements were calculated keeping in mind the basic rules of assigning oxidation states which included assignment of +1 charge to first group elements i.e. Rubidium (Rb) and assignment of -2 charge to Oxygen atom. Then the oxidation state of Sulfur was calculated as follow,
Rb₂ + S + O₃ = 0
Above zero (0) means that the overall molecule is neutral.
Putting values of Rb and O,
(+1)₂ + S + (-2)₃ = 0
(+2) + S + (-6) = 0
+2 + S - 6 = 0
S - 6 = -2
S = -2 + 6
S = + 4
Answer:
Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰5(sp³d³)₆⁺² => Octahedral Geometry (AX₆)⁺²
Explanation:
Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰(5s²5p₋₁²p₀²p₁²5d₋₂d₋₁d₀)⁺² => Xe[Kr]5(sp³d³)₆²
Ca. #Valence e⁻ = Xe + 6F - 2e⁻ = 1(8) + 6(7) - 2 = 48
Ca. #Substrate e⁻ = 6F = 6(8) = 48
#Nonbonded free pairs e⁻ = (V - S)/2 = (48 - 48)/2 = 0 free pairs
#Bonded pairs e⁻ = 6F substrates = 6 bonded pairs
BPr + NBPr = 6 + 0 = 6 e⁻ pairs => Geometry => [AX₆]⁺² => Octahedron
Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰(5s²5p₋₁²p₀²p₁²5d₋₂d₋₁d₀)⁺² => Xe[Kr]5(sp³d³)₆⁺²
XeF₆⁺² => 6(sp³d³) hybrid orbitals => Octahedral Geometry (AX₆)
