Give reasons for each of the following: Noble gases do not form compounds readily.

Consider following properties of the noble gases. I. They readily form compounds which are colourless. II: They generally do not form ionic compounds. III: Xenon has variable oxidation states in its compounds IV : the smaller He and Ne do not form clathrate compounds. Select correct properties.

Assertion: All clatharate compound of noble gas are the compounds in which the molecules of noble gases are trapped in cavities in te crystal lattice of other compounds. Reason: He and Ne having smaller size do not form clathrate compound molecules because they are small enough to escape from cavities.
