Among noble gases, only xenon reacts with flourine to form stable xenon fluorides, because xenon

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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)`.

Among noble gases, Xe is quite reactive and form a number of fluorides and oxyfluorides. In these compounds the electrons, from 5p orbitals are excited to 5d orbitals. The predicted shapes of xenon fluorides are linear, square planar and distorted octahedron. The shapes of xeon oxyfluorides can be prodicted by VSEPR theory.
