Why Xe does not from fluorides such as X...

Why `Xe` does not from fluorides such as `XeF, XeF_(3) or XeF_(5)`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

valent shell element electrnic condiguration of Xe is `5s^(2)5p^(6)` Na of unpairwed electrons

By unpariing of one, two three paired electrons, two , four and six unpaired electgrons are formed respectively. Thus coordination number `Xe` can be `2,4` and `6` and can never be `1,3,5` Hence `XeF,XeF_(2)`, and `xeF_(5)` cannot be formed
