The statement, which prompted Neil Bartlett to prepare the first noble gas compound wasA. Xe-F bond has high bond energyB. `F_2` has exceptionally low bond energyC. `PtF_6` is a strong oxidantD. `O_2` molecule and Xe atom have very similar ionization energies. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D 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^(-)`l Ionization energy =1,175 kJ / mol |
