Q 1 :

The formation of O2+[PtF6]- is the basis for the formation of xenon fluorides. This is because:

  • O2 and Xe have comparable sizes

     

  • both O2 and Xe are gases

     

  • O2 and Xe have comparable ionization energies

     

  • O2 and Xe have same electron gain enthalpy

     

(3)

O2 and Xe have comparable ionization energies
