Consider the following properties of the noble gases. √8 .They readily form compounds which are colourless. II. They generally do not form ionic compounds. II. They have variable oxidation states in their compounds. IV. Generally do not form covalent compounds. Select the correct properties. (A) I, II, III (B) II, III (C) l, lll (D) Only I

Since, noble gases have stable configuration ( text4× text10 text6 textV in case of helium and ns2np6 in case of others), hence their ionisation energy is maximum in their respective periods, hence formation of compounds is not easy, Then, (I) is incorrect. Compounds are covalent. Thus (II) is correct and (IV) is incorrect -Fk have variable oxidation states of F( hati- hatj) . Thus, (III) is also correct.
