Best Answer

Xenon reacts with highly electronegative elements such as fluorine and oxygen at high temperature and pressure. It forms compounds such as XeF2, XeF4, XeF6, XeOF2 etc.

Ionic charge of xenon?

Xenon is an inert monoatomic gas. It isone of the "inert" gases It does form some compounds, such as unstable covalent compounds with fluorine. It does not form compounds containing Xe ions.

1.what is the oxidation state in xenon in HXeO4- and ... xenon is +7. As= +3 ... Xe = +7. As = +3 ... Except when highly electropositive elements are involved


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

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!


Do nobel gasses form covalent bonds?

they do not for compounds except for xenon, krypton and argon. These compounds are all very unstable. The first compounds of xenon and krypton were found 50 years ago, and compounds of argon only in the last 15 years.


Why was xenon tetra fluoride an unusual feat?

It was believed that, being a Noble gas, Xenon would be inert and so not form any compounds.


Can xenon make an substance?

Xenon does not form compounds / substances under normal temperature and pressure. However under high temperature and pressure, it forms compounds such as XeF2, XeF4, XeOF2, XeF6 etc.


What compounds make up xenon?

Xenon is an element so it is not made up of any compounds.
