Which of the following inert gas participate in chemicals reaction? (AIIMS 2019)

A.Xe✓ Correct
B.He
C.Ne
D.None of the above
Explanation

Neil Bartlett prepared a red compound, 2 6 O [PtF ] by reacting platinum hexafluoride (PtF₆) with oxygen. He found that, ionization energy of Xe(1170 KJ mol–1)is nearly equal to that of molecular oxygen (1175 kJ mol–1). Therefore, he was able to form compound of xenon. Xe + PtF₆ → Xe⁺(PtF₆), On the other hand, He and Ne has very high value of ionization energy. Therefore, only Xe can participate in chemical reactions and form compounds. Hence, option (a) is correct.
