Question

First noble gas compound prepared by Neil Bartlett is

• A. $O_{2}^{+} P t F_{6}^{-}$
• B. $O_{3}^{+} P t F_{6}^{-}$
• C. $X e^{+} P t F_{6}^{-}$
• D. $ XeF_{2} $

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

In $1962$, Neil Bartlett, first of all, mixed deep red vapours of $P t F_{6}$ and xenon and obtained an orange, yellow solid, $X e^{+} P t F_{6}^{-}$.
$X e(g)+P t F_{6}(g) \rightarrow X e^{+} P t F_{6}^{-}$
