In the preparation of compounds of Xe, Bartlett had taken `O_(2)^(+) Pt F_(6)^(-)` as a base compound. This is because

A

both `O_(2) and Xe` have same size

B

both `O_(2) and Xe` have same electron gain enthalpy

C

both `O_(2) and Xe` have almost same ionisation enthalpy

D

both `Xe and O_(2)` are gases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
First ionisation enthalpy of `O_(2) (1175" kJ mol"^(-1))` is almost identical with that of xenon `(1170" kJ mol"^(-1))`.

In the preparation of compounds of Xe, Bartlett has taken O_(2)^(+)Pt F_(6)^(-) as a base compound. This is becase

Complete the following analogy: In the preparation of compounds of Xe, Bartlett had taken it as a base compound : A : Compound of N which acts as a lewis base

Solid CI_(2)O_(6) is a covalnt compound.

Asseration: The first real compound of the noble gases in 1962 "was" Xe^(+)[PtF_(6)]^(-) . Reason: The discovery was based on the basis of comparable ionisation energy of O_(2) and Xe and a compound O_(2)^(+)[PtF_(6)]^(-) was prepared by Bartlett which was later on reported to be [XeF]^(+)[Pt_(2)F_(11)]^(-) .

The first noble gas compound prepared by Bartlett is

why only F and O form compounds with Xe?
