Solution

In the complex ion [AuXe4]2+, Xe acts as a ligand.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. In a complex ion, we have a central atom (or ion) which is usually a transition metal, and around it are arranged ions or molecules (known as ligands) in a definite geometrical arrangement.

  2. In the given complex ion [AuXe4]2+, Au is the central atom.

  3. Xe is surrounding the central atom, which is the characteristic of a ligand.

  4. Therefore, in [AuXe4]2+, Xe acts as a ligand.

So, the correct answer is (b) ligand.
