Which of the inert gases can form compounds?
-
- Helium
- Xenon
- Krypton
- Argon
- Helium
Correct Option: B
Xenon compounds are the most numerous of the noble gas compounds that have been formed. Most of them have the xenon atom in the oxidation state of +2, +4, +6, or +8 bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as fluorine or oxygen. Some of these compounds have found use in chemical synthesis as oxidizing agents.
