Because there will be one electron left once Xe forms 3 bonds with F, and has 2 lone pair of electrons in the case of XeF3.
in the case of XeF5, there will be 5 bond pairs, and 1 lone pair. still 1 electron will be left, which is not possible.

Are all noble gases nonreactive?
All noble gases are unreactive at S.T.P. However at high temperature and pressure, xenon and krypton will react with electronegative elements such as flourine and oxygen to form fluorides and oxyfluorides.
What is the pronunciation of xenon in rebus form?
(zee-non)
What is the noble gas most likely to form with another element?
xenon
What is the charge of a Xe ion?
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
What is the theoretical mass of xenon tetrafluoride that should form when 130 G of xenon is reacted with 100 G of F2?
The answer is 205 grams. You can easily convert that to SI units.
What are xenon compounds?
Xenon form very few compounds. but it does have a few fluorides and oxides. One of those is Xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4)
What can xenon do?
Xenon is a noble gas, and provides an inert atmosphere for most chemical reactions--it does form fluorides and oxides, however, the latter of which are sensitive explosives and can oxidize metals to their highest states. Xenon is also a medical asphixiant.
What is the reactants or product in xenon gas with fluorine gas to form xenon tetrafluoride gas?
A mixture of xenon and fluorine, when exposes to ultraviolet light will produce xenon difluoride (XeF2). After sustained heating in the presence of nickel fluoride (NiF2) , xenon difluoride will form xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). Subjecting XeF6 to very high temperatures, in an oxygen-free atmosphere and in the presence of sodium fluoride will yield xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4).The fluorides of nickel and sodium are catalysts in the processes.
Does xenon form a monatomic ion?
No. Xenon does not form ions.
Does xenon form a hexafluoride?
xenon
What form is xenon found in?
Xenon is found as a gas
What are the most common Xenon Ion?
Xenon does not readily form an ion.
Does Xenon form ions?
No, it does not.
Are all noble gases nonreactive?
All noble gases are unreactive at S.T.P. However at high temperature and pressure, xenon and krypton will react with electronegative elements such as flourine and oxygen to form fluorides and oxyfluorides.
Does xenon have one valence electron with neutral?
No. there are no unpaired electrons in xenon. In neutral form, xenon will have 8 valence electrons.
What is the anion for xenon?
Xenon obeys octet rule and has a stable electronic configuration. So, xenon does not form any anion.
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.
