Because the xenon atom's electrons in its lower orbitals (5s and 5p) are promoted to a higher shell (5d). This allows the fluorine to bond with these unpaired electrons. Argon would have to promote 3s and 3p to 3d (too high of an energy gap).
See the link below.
Xenon can form a compound with fluorine by sharing electrons to create a covalent bond. Xenon has the ability to expand its valence shell by accepting electron pairs from fluorine atoms, allowing them to form a stable compound. This results in xenon difluoride (XeF2), where each xenon atom is bonded to two fluorine atoms.
Hexafluorides of argon or xenon are chemical compounds where either argon or xenon is combined with six fluorine atoms. These compounds are typically used in specialized applications such as in plasma etching in the semiconductor industry.
because fluorine is highly electronegative and is the most reactive non metal.
There are 11 elements that are a gas at room temperature. Here is a list... Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon.
Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine and Chlorine

Hexafluoride compounds are formed when oxygen combines with either argon or xenon in the presence of fluorine. These compounds have the chemical formula XeF6 for xenon and ArF6 for argon.

Hydrogen and hydrogen+fluorine.
Im guessing by gas non-metal, you mean the non-reactive noble gases. These are: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon
because fluorine is highly electronegative and is the most reactive non metal.
in number order it goes hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine are diatomic gases. Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon are monatomic gases.
