Not true! Radon can too. You just reminded me that I actually have some XeF4 in my basement that I used to use for X-ray analysis.
Anyways, it's because Xenon, like Radon, is getting too big for its britches. The electromagnetic attractive force from its nucleus is weaker for the electrons in Xenon's outer shell than for the equivalent electrons in the smaller-sized noble gases. Plus, it has more electrons flying around than those other smaller nobles, and they are all putting repulsive forces on each other, helping to weaken the strength of the bond. Therefore, the really really powerful oxidizers like Fluorine and Chlorine can actually steal one of the Xenon's electrons out from under it and arrange itself to be in a more stable state than the Xe was before.
What else can I help you with?
Which was the first noble gas to produce a compound?
The first noble gas to produce a compound was xenon. In 1962, a fluoride compound of xenon, xenon hexafluoroplatinate was synthesized. This discovery challenged the belief that noble gases were inert and do not form compounds.
Is xenon the only noble gas to form a compound?
No, "xeon" is not another name for "noble gases." The noble gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn), and ununoctium (Uuo). (Ununoctium is not a naturally-occurring element and only a few atoms of it have ever been produced.)
What was used to make the first compounds of an element in the group gases?
The first compounds of noble gases were made by reacting them with highly reactive elements, such as fluorine or oxygen, under extreme conditions like high temperature and pressure. This forced the normally unreactive noble gases to form compounds.
Can heavy noble gases form compounds with fluorine?
Yes, heavy noble gases (such as radon, xenon, and krypton) can form compounds with fluorine, known as noble gas compounds. These compounds are typically unstable and formed under specific conditions. Xenon, in particular, is well-known for forming a variety of noble gas compounds with fluorine.
Why compounds of Xe are more common as compared to other noble gases?
Compounds of xenon (Xe) are more common compared to other noble gases because xenon has a larger electron cloud that can form stable compounds with highly electronegative elements. Xenon has vacant d orbitals that can participate in bonding, allowing it to expand its valence shell. This makes xenon more reactive compared to other noble gases, which do not readily form compounds.

Does Chlorine and xenon form a ionic compound?
No, chlorine and xenon do not form an ionic compound. Xenon is a noble gas and does not readily form ionic bonds with other elements.

Does xenon have an odor?
No. Xenon is an odorless gas, as are all noble gases.

Yes, heavy noble gases (such as radon, xenon, and krypton) can form compounds with fluorine, known as noble gas compounds. These compounds are typically unstable and formed under specific conditions. Xenon, in particular, is well-known for forming a variety of noble gas compounds with fluorine.
Is inactive elements from stable compound?
For example, xenon, a noble gas can form stable compounds.
Do Neon and Argon form a compound?
Not together. It is possible, however, for noble gases to form bonds.
Is xenon molecular or atomic?
Xenon is an atomic gas. It is a noble gas that exists as individual atoms and does not form molecules in its natural state.
Which two noble gases can form compounds with fluorine?
krypton will form compounds like KrF2. Xenon will form compounds like XeF4, XeF6 etc.
Why compounds of Xe are more common as compared to other noble gases?
Compounds of xenon (Xe) are more common compared to other noble gases because xenon has a larger electron cloud that can form stable compounds with highly electronegative elements. Xenon has vacant d orbitals that can participate in bonding, allowing it to expand its valence shell. This makes xenon more reactive compared to other noble gases, which do not readily form compounds.
Why can't argon and neon the noble gases form compound?
yes, no, maybe so
