**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify Inert Gases**: The inert gases, also known as noble gases, include Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), and Radon (Rn). 2. **Determine the Element with Maximum Compounds**: Among these inert gases, Xenon (Xe) is known to form the maximum number of compounds. This is due to its larger atomic size and the presence of d-orbitals, which allows it to expand its octet and bond with more electronegative elements. 3. **Identify Compounds Formed by Xenon**: Xenon can form various compounds, particularly with highly electronegative elements such as fluorine and oxygen. ...
