It's electrons move to a higher orbital, making room for another elements electrons to bind with it. this is only a phenomenon found in Xe, no other noble gas has this property

Which elements can be joined by a covalent bond K Cl C N Li Cu Fe Xe Mg N?

C and N, N and H, Cl and Cl, Xe and Xe can form covalent bonds. Mg and Cl, Li and Cl, Cu and Cl, Fe and Cl can form ionic bonds due to the large difference in electronegativity. K and Cl would form an ionic bond as well.


Is Xe covalent or ionic?

Xenon (Xe) typically forms covalent bonds. It is a noble gas and tends not to gain or lose electrons to form ions like ionic compounds do. Instead, it shares electrons with other nonmetals to form covalent compounds.


What kind of bonds are present in a XeO4 molecule?

There are four coordinate covalent bonds , because Xe has four lone pairs of electrons while each oxygen atom has a deficiency of two electrons in outermost shell.

How many isotopes does Xenon have?

Xenon has nine naturally occurring isotopes: Xe-124, Xe-126, Xe-128, Xe-129, Xe-130, Xe-131, Xe-132, Xe-134, and Xe-136.


What is the hybridization of the central atom XeCl2?

The central atom Xe in XeCl2 is in a hybridization of sp3d. Xenon has 8 valence electrons, and to form two Xe-Cl bonds, it undergoes hybridization to utilize its 5d orbital along with the 2s and 3p orbitals, resulting in sp3d hybridization.
