The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about noble gases is not correct, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the first statement: "Xenon forms XeF6."** - Xenon (Xe) can react with fluorine (F2) to form xenon hexafluoride (XeF6) when heated. This statement is correct. 2. **Analyze the second statement: "Argon is used in electric bulbs."** - Argon (Ar) is indeed used in electric bulbs as an inert gas to prevent the filament from oxidizing and burning out quickly. This statement is also correct. 3. **Analyze the third statement: "Helium has the lowest boiling point among all the noble gases."** - Helium (He) does have the lowest boiling point of all the noble gases due to its small atomic size and weak van der Waals forces. This statement is correct. 4. **Analyze the fourth statement: "Krypton is formed by radioactive disintegration."** - Krypton (Kr) is not formed by radioactive disintegration. Instead, it is radon (Rn) that is produced through the radioactive decay of radium (Ra). This statement is incorrect. ### Conclusion: The statement that is not correct is: **"Krypton is formed by radioactive disintegration."** ---
