The statement, which prompted Neil Bartlett to prepare the first noble gas compound was

Answer»

Xe-F bond has high bond ENERGY
`F_2` has exceptionally low bond energy
`PtF_6` is a strong oxidant
`O_2` molecule and Xe atom have very similar ionization ENERGIES.

Solution :Both Xe and `O_(2)`, have comparable ionization energies.
`Xe to Xe^(-)+e^(-)` lonization energy =1, 170 KJ /MOL
`O_(2) to O_(2)^(+)+e^(-)`lIonization energy =1,175 kJ / mol
