What prompted Bartlett to the discovery of noble gas compounds ? |
| Answer» Solution :The IONISATION enthalpy of Xe is similar to that of `O_2`. He FIRST prepared the compound `O_2^(+) PtF_6^(-)`. It PROMPTED Bartlett to prepare compound in which `O_2` of `O_2^(+)PtF_6^(-)` could be replaced by Xe. This is how `Xe^(+) PtF_6^(-)` was prepared. | |
