The majority of noble gas compounds are those of xenon. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Except radon which is radioactive, Xe has the lowest ionization enthalpy among noble gases and hence can be easily oxidised by strong oxidising agents like `O_(2) and F_(2)`. That is why majority of noble gas compounds are those of xenon.
