According to Lewis theory, the total number of bond-pairs and lone pair of electrons around the central atom of XeO64- ion is .

Answer

6

Solution

Xe has 8 valence electrons; in XeO64- (perxenate) its oxidation state is +8.

Xe is bonded to six O atoms ⇒ 6 σ bond pairs (two Xe=O also have one π bond each; the other four are Xe-O-).

Electrons of Xe used: 6 (σ) + 2 (π) = 8 ⇒ no electron left ⇒ lone pairs on Xe = 0

∴ σ bond pairs + lone pairs = 6 + 0 = 6 (octahedral)

Answer: 6
