What is the chemical formula for xenon difluoride?

XeF2


What is the oxidation number of xenon?

The answer is 7


What is the oxidation number of xenon in XeF6?

Six.


How many covalent bonds is xenon likely to make?

The number of covalent bonds depends on the compound it makes. Xenon can make maximum of six covalent bond (as in XeF6) and minimum of 2 as in (XeF2).


Which xenon fluoride contains the greatest percentage of fluoride XeF2 or XeF4 or XeF6?

XeF6.


When xenon and fluorine are combined what is their product?

Under normal conditions it is Xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4). Under more demanding conditions you can get XeF2 or XeF6.


Can Xenon and Fluorine combine?

Yes. XeF2 (xenon difluoride), XeF4 (xenon tetrafluoride), and XeF6 (xenon hexafluoride) are all real compounds. XeF4 was in fact the first noble gas compound to be discovered.


Which compound led to discovery of the compound of noble gas?

I suppose that this compound is xenon difluoride - XeF2.


What happens when fluorine reacts with xenon?

The product formed depends on the temperature, pressure and the concentration. Based on these, xenon will react with fluorine to form XeF2, XeF4 or XeF6.


What compounds can xenon form?

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.


Is Xenon reactive or inert?

Xenon has completely filled electrons. So it is chemically inert at STP. But under high temperature and pressure, it can form compounds such as XeF2, XeF4, XeOF2 etc.


What is the name of the molecular compound XeF6?

Xenon difluoride or XeF2 is a potent fluorinating agent. It is one of the most stable compounds of xenon and is also used as an isotropic gaseous etchant for silicon.
