Question
The diverse chemistry of Xenon happens largely only with highly electronegative elements like Fluorine and Oxygen – True or False?
Answer: Option A
:
A
This is true.
Xenon is the only noble gas to form a variety of compounds and then only with highly electronegative elements, such as fluorine, oxygen, and to some extent - nitrogen.
With oxygen, Xenon forms two oxides - XeO3andXeO4
It forms three fluorides with fluorine. What are their formulae?
Interestingly, Xenon also forms two oxyfluorides : XeO2F2andXeOF4
