Write the formula of the first noble gas compound prepared by N. Bartlett. What inspired N Bartlett to prepare this compound ? |
|
Answer» Xe+ [PtF6]- . Neil Bartlett,observed the reaction of a noble gas. First, he prepared a red compound which is formulated as O2 + [PtF6] -. He, then realised that the first ionization enthalpy of molecular oxygen (1175 kJmol–1) was almost identical with that of xenon (1170 kJ mol–1). He made efforts to prepare same type of compound with Xe and was successful in preparing another red colour compound Xe+ [PtF6] - by mixing PtF6 and xenon. |
