Question

Among noble gases (from He to Xe) only xenon reacts with fluorine to form stable xenon fluorides because xenon (A) has the largest size (B) has the lowest ionization enthalpy (C) has the highest heat of vapourization (D) is the most readily available noble gas

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Out of He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xn, Xn has the lowest ionisation energy as ionisation energies decrease down a group
