    \[{{F}_{2}}\]formed by reacting\[{{K}_{2}}Mn{{F}_{6}}\]with

    A)  \[Sb{{F}_{5}}\]           

    B)  \[Mn{{F}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[KSb{{F}_{6}}\]         

    D)  \[Mn{{F}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Stronger Lewis acid,\[Sb{{F}_{5}}\]displaces the weaker one\[(Mn{{F}_{4}})\]from its salt.\[Mn{{F}_{4}}\]is unstable and readily decompose to give\[Mn{{F}_{3}}\]and fluorine. \[{{K}_{2}}Mn{{F}_{6}}+2Sb{{F}_{5}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2Ksb{{F}_{5}}+\underset{unstable}{\mathop{Mn{{F}_{4}}}}\,\] \[2Mn{{F}_{4}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2Mn{{F}_{3}}+{{F}_{2}}\]
