The question cannot be answered sensibly because it is based on the misconception that compounds of xenon such as its difluoride, tetrafuoride, hexafluoride, tetroxide, and so on do not exist!

Explain why Krypton and Xenon do not readily react to form compounds?

They are noble gases whose electron shells are full. They cannot, therefore, form ions.


What does not react with bromine?

Gold, Platinum, Argon, Helium, Krypton, Xenon, etc.


Which noble gas can react to give a few compounds?

Xenon certainly can, and probably krypton also. Radon probably does, but it is so radioactive that it may never have been tested for this property.


What other chemicals does xenon react with?

Xenon can form a few compounds with fluorine and oxygen.


Does noble gas react since they have a full outer shell of electrons?

they do not react at standard temperature and pressure. However under extreme conditions, krypton or xenon form compounds such as KrF4, XeF4, XeOF2, XeF6 etc.


What elements does bromine not react with?

Gold, Platinum, Argon, Helium, Krypton, Xenon, etc.


What element doesn't react with other elements?

Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon


Is Sulfur and xenon form ionic compound or not?

Sulfur can form ionic compounds (eg SO2), but Xenon is a noble gas and does not react to form compounds.


Which group on the periodic table does not react with any other elements?

The noble gas family consisting of Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon have been considered as non-reactive and inert due to their stable configurations. But now compounds having Xenon and Krypton have been synthesized. So, it can be said that there is no such family on the periodic table which does not react with elements.


What gases do not react under normal conditions?

All of the Noble Gasses * Helium * Neon * Argon * Krypton * Xenon * Radon


What are two abnormal noble gas?

The two abnormal noble gases will be xenon and krypton. Noble gases are generally chemically inert at S.T.P. However, xenon and krypton react with electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen forming fluorides and oxyfluorides.


What are some things that contain krypton?

No. Krypton is one of the noble/inert gases, so it does not react with any other element (the exception to that rule is Xenon, which can form a compound with Fluorine, but this is irrelevant).
