Amongst all noble gases only xenon is known to form compounds with oxygen and flruorine. Give reasons. |
| Answer» Solution :Amongst all the noble gases (except Rn), Xe has the LARGEST size and lowest ionization ENTHALPY. Further, since `F_(2) and O_(2)` are the most ELECTRONEGATIVE elements known, THEREFORE, amongst all the noble gases only XENON forms compounds with `O_(2) and F_(2)`. | |
