Detailed Solution

 

For XeF2,

Total number of electron pair =8+22=5

Total number of bond pair =2

Total number of lone pair =(5-2)=3=x

For XeF4,

Total number of electron pair =8+42=6

Total number of bond pair =4

Total number of lone pair =(6-4)=2=y

For XeF6,

Total number of electron pair =8+62=7

Total number of bond pair =6

Total number of lone pair =(7-6)=1=z

Product of x,y and z=3×2×1

=6

Hence, The product of these three coefficients is 6.
