Question

Among noble gases $Xe$ is quite reactive and form a number of compounds with oxygen and fluoride. This is because of small size and large electronegativity of these element. The geometry and bond angles of the compound formed can be explained on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The first noble gas compound obtained was

• A. $[XeF{]}^{+}[PtF{]}^{-}$
• B. $Xe{F}_4$
• C. $Xe{F}_2$
• D. $XeO{F}_4$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Correct answer is (a) $[XeF{]}^{+}[PtF{]}^{-}$
