Can fluoride bond with a nolbe gas like neon?

The noble or inert gases generally have extremely low reactivity. These elements resist forming chemical bonds with any other atoms. There are, however, some compounds that fluoride ions (F-) can form with inert gases. Fluorine, as you recall, is the most highly reactive element in the periodic table. And the heavier inert gases can form compounds with fluorine, though these compounds are highly unstable. As examples, consider the compounds xenon difluoride (XeF2), xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4), xenon hexafluoride (XeF6), xenon tetroxide (XeO4).


What is the equation of Swarts reaction?

the synthesis of alkyl fluorides by heating an alkyl chloride or alkyl bromide in the presence of a metallic fluoride like AgF, Hg2F2, CoF2 or SbF2.


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 does xenon look like in its normal state?

Xenon is not visible so in gaseous form,it is odorless and colorless.


Is there a reactive noble gas?

Noble gases are generally chemically inert at S.T.P. However, at extreme conditions, xenon and krypton react with electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen forming fluorides and oxyfluorides.


What does xenon look like in its pure form?

It is a colourless gas.


Are oxides of group 18 amphoteric?

Group 18 elements are noble gases. He and neon are completely inert. Reactive compounds have been made for the heavier ones. Xenon has some well documented oxides such as XeO3 , XeO4 . Xenon fluorides and oxyfluorides are also known. The Xenon oxides react in alkaline medium with base like NaOH to produce Xenate ions such as Na+[HXeO4]- . XeO4 reacts with water to form perxenic acid. This shows that they are Acidic in nature. Less isknown about krypton oxides and very little about Radon.


Is fluoride a drug?

It depends on how it's used. Fluoride is actually a mineral in its original form, but it can be modified to make things like toothpaste and mouthwash. Fluoride isn't a drug, but it can be used to make them.


Which two noble gases can form compounds with fluorine?

krypton will form compounds like KrF2. Xenon will form compounds like XeF4, XeF6 etc.


Are there any metals like xenon?

um. xenon isn't a metal. and xenon means "strange", so no.


Why won't Xenon combine with Oxygen to form a covalent compound?

Xenon have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. It has 8 valence electrons and have stable electronic configuration. Hence it is chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions. However under high temperature and pressure, xenon combines with oxygen to form oxides like XeO3, XeO4 etc.


What element is xenon similar to?

I'm guessing that xenon is similar to krypton it is used for bright lights just like xenon
