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?
