Question No. 53 to 55 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the
questions:
Under the normal conditions, noble gases are monoatomic and have closed shell electronic
configuration. Lighter noble gases have low boiling points due to weak dispersion forces between the
atoms and the absence of other interatomic interactions. Xenon, one of the important noble gas, forms a
series of compounds with fluorine with oxidation number +2, +4 and +6. All xenon fluorides are strong
oxidising agents. XeF4 reacts violently with water to give XeO3 The geometry of xenon compounds can
be deduced by considering the total number of electron pairs in their valence shell.

53. Among noble gases (from He to Xe) only xenon reacts with fluorine to form stable xenon [0.77]
fluorides because xenon:

a) has the lowest ionisation enthalpy b) has the highest heat of vapourisation

c) is the most readily available noble d) has the largest size

gas.

compound. This is because

a) both Xe and O2 are gases b) both O2 and Xe have same size
