Q. Which of the following statements are correct?
I. Xenon fluorides are non-reactive.
II. Hydrolysis of $XeF _{6}$ is a rcdox reaction.
III. Only type of interactions between particles of noble gases are due to weak dispersion forces.
IV. Ionisation enthalpy of molecular oxygen is very close to that of xenon.
Choose the correct option.

The p-Block Elements - Part2

Solution:

Xenon fluorides are reactive. The products of hydrolysis are $XeOF _{4}$ and $XeO _{2} F _{2}$ where the oxidation states of all the elements remain the same as it was in the reacting state. Thus, hydrolysis of $XeF _{6}$ is not a redox reaction.
