Question
Because it has the lowest ionization energy of the noble gases, xenon is the most likely to form compounds. To date, the only compounds made with xenon are xenon fluorides and xanon oxyfluorides. Which of these two cdasses of compounds would be expected to be the most stable and why? Select one: a. xenon fluorides because fluorine atoms are larger than oxygen atoms and thus would react more readly with xenon b. xenon oxyfluorides because oxygen atoms have the ability to form double bonds which are stronger and more stable than the single bonds fluorine is able to form. c.xenon fluorides because fluorine is the most electronegative element and therefore the most likely to form a bond with any given element. O d xenon oxyfluorides because they contain the two most reactive elements and therefore form the most stable compound. Which noble gas is the most abundant in the atmosphere of the Earth? Select one: O a. neon b. argon c. krypton d. xenonExplanation / Answer
As per given Questions, for the First Question answer is option a. Because size of fluorine is larger than oxygen so fluorine is easily combine with xenon to form most stable compounds.
And xenon oxyflurides are highly reactive and highly unstable.
For second Question: correct answe is option b.
Because Argon is most abundant noble gas in the atmosphere of earth. It is highly produced by the potassium of radio active isotopes present in the earth crust.
