Which of the possible following florides of xenon is impossible ?A. `X – InterviewSolution

1.	Which of the possible following florides of xenon is impossible ?A. `XeF_(2)`B. `XeF_(3)`C. `XeF_(4)`D. `XeF_(6)`.
Answer» Correct Answer - B Noble gases cannot show oxidation state of 3 hence `XeF_(3)` is not possible. Possible oxidation states for noble gases (except He and Ne) are 2, 4, 6 and 8.
