Can you break xenon

It depends on what you mean by "break".

Xenon is a monatomic gas so you aren't going to have any molecular bonds to break in the gas.

Most Xenon is composed of stable isotopes so it doesn't much 'break" by radioactive decay.

You could bombard it with nuclear particles and cause it to either absorb them and "break" by being transformed into a heavier element, or absorb to become radioactive and then "break" by decay, or fission to produce lighter elements (this is the most difficult since a lot of xenon isotopes are such good neutron absorbers)

What happens when you mix fluorine with xenon?

When you mix fluorine with xenon, the fluorine can react with xenon to form xenon fluorides, such as xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) or xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). These xenon fluorides are generally unstable and highly reactive compounds.
