Ionisation potential values of noble gases decrease down the group with increase in atomic size. Xenon forms binary fluorides by the direct reaction of elements. Identify the correct statement$(s)$ from below.

  • A
    Only the heavier noble gases form such compounds
  • B
    It happens because the noble gases have higher ionisation energies
  • C
    It happens because the compounds are formed with electronegative ligands
  • D
    Octet of electrons provide the stable arrangements

The noble gases have closed-shell electronic configuration and are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of the lighter noble gases are due to weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other interatomic interactions.
The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers $+2, +4$ and $+6$. $XeF_4$ reacts violently with water to give $XeO_3$. The compounds of xenon exhibit rich stereochemistry and their geometries can be deduced considering the total number of electron pairs in the valence shell.
