Question

In the preparation of compounds of Xe, Bartlett had taken O+2 PtF6- as a base compound. This is because (A) both O2 and Xe have same size (B) both O2 and Xe have same electron gain enthalpy (C) both O2 and Xe have almost same ionisation enthalpy (D) both Xe and O2 are gases

First ionisation enthalpy of O2 (1175 kj mol-1) is almost identical with that of xenon (1170 kj mol-1).

Q. In the preparation of compounds of $X e$ , Bartlett had taken $O_{2}^{+} Pt F_{6}^{-}$ as a base compound. This is because

both $O_{2}$ and $X e$ have same size

both $O_{2}$ and $X e$ have same electron gain enthalpy

both $O_{2}$ and $X e$ have almost same ionisation enthalpy

both $X e$ and $O_{2}$ are gases

First ionisation enthalpy of $O_{2} (1175 kj m o l^{- 1})$ is almost identical with that of xenon $(1170 kj m o l^{- 1})$ .

Q. In the preparation of compounds of Xe, Bartlett had taken O2+​PtF6−​ as a base compound. This is because

both O2​ and Xe have same size

both O2​ and Xe have same electron gain enthalpy

both O2​ and Xe have almost same ionisation enthalpy

both Xe and O2​ are gases
