Phosgene is common name of

The number of paired electrons in Xe atom of XeF2 is
3
5
4
2
A.
3
The dot structure of XeF2 is as follows:
Number of molecular hybrid orbitals = no. of sigma bonds + no. of lone pair of electrons.
No. of molecular hybrid orbitals = 2 + 3 = 5
Therefore, hybridisation is sp3d.
A deep brown gas is formed by mixing two colourless gases which are
NO2 and O2
N2O and NO
NO and O2
NH3 and HCl
