What kind of bond does xenon make?
Xenon makes covalent bonds with halogens and oxygen.
Do Nobel gases often combine with other elements?
Noble gases do not often combine with other elements.
What is the name of the molecular compound of XeF8?
Xenon Octafluoride
Do all atoms combine with other atoms?
yes, with either ionic bonds or covalent bonds
What are some chemical characteristics of xenon?
Reacts with Oxygen and Fluorine
What is xenon tetroxide?
It is a compound of xenon and oxygen. A molecule of xenon tetroxide comprise one atom of xenon in covalent bonds with four atoms of oxygen.
Is XeCl4 a covalent compound?
Xe is the element xenon, which is a single element, not a compound. A compound, by definition is composed of two or more elements. Xenon rarely forms compounds at all, but in fact it can combine with some other elements such as fluorine.
What is tetroxide?
It is a compound of xenon and oxygen. A molecule of xenon tetroxide comprise one atom of xenon in covalent bonds with four atoms of oxygen.
Is Xenon hexafluoride a covalent or ionic compound?
Xenon is a noble gas in with the electrone of outermost orbit are balanced than the xenon cannot make ionic bond with another element such as Oxygen because if it make an ionic bond than the electron of the outer most orbit are unstable therefore it make an covalent bond with oxygen to fill the outer most unbalance electron of oxygen by sharing electron to form (xenon oxide) (xenon dioxide) and also with floride to form (xenon difloride) etc.
What is the covalent compound of XeF4?
Xenon tetrafluoride.
What is xenon trioxide?
It is a compound of Xenon and Oxygen in which each atom of Xenon it attached to three atoms of oxygen.
What kind of bond does xenon make?
Xenon makes covalent bonds with halogens and oxygen.
Is xenon tetrafluoride ionic or covalent?
Covalent, because Xenon (non-metal) and Fluoride (non-metal) and the tetra is a prefix meaning four. Non-metal+non-metal= covalent bonds.
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).
Is xenon only found in the atmosphere?
No. Traces of Xenon are also found in covalent boded form with oxygen, in quartz.
What does xenon mean in a kid definition?
Xenon is one of the elements. It is a type of gas (another example of a gas is the oxygen we all breathe). It is inert (whereas, for example, oxygen can combine with hydrogen to form water, xenon does not combine with other elements).
Does xenon combine with other elements?
Yes, it can combine with fluorine and oxygen, but bot very easily.
