Which form maximum compounds with Xenon?

Correct answer: A. F

  • A. F
  • B. Cl
  • C. Br
  • D. I

Explanation

Due to its large atomic size, the first IE of Xe is very less, while the valence electrons are much further away from the nucleus, meaning that they can easily participate in bond formation. Fluorine is highly electronegative, thus it can easily react with Xe.

About Periodic Properties and Trends

Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
