Argon is used in arc welding because

A

Low reactivity with metal

B

Ability to lower the melting point of metal

C

Flammability

D

High calorific value

Text Solution

S_(1): Argon is used in arc welding of metals or alloys to provide an inert atomosphere. S_(2):" XeF_(2),XeF_(4) and XeF_(6) are colourless crystalline solids and sublime readily at 298K . S_(3):XeF_(2),XeF_(4) and XeF_(6) are readily hydrolysed. S_(4): Xenon fluorides react with flourine ion acceptor to form cationic species and fluoride ion donors to form fluoro anions.

The noble gases have closed-shell electronic configuration and are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of the lighter noble gases are due to weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other Interatomic Interactions.
