Among noble gases (from He to Xe ) only ...

Among noble gases (from He to Xe ) only xenon reacts with fluorine to form stable fluorides because xenon :

A

(1) has the largest size.

B

(2) has the lowest ionization enthalpy.

C

(3) has the highest heat of vaporization.

D

(4) Is the most readily available noble gas.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Out of He, Ne, Ar , Kr and Xe, Xe has the lowest ionisation energy as ionisation energies decreases down a group.

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.
