Fluorine Compounds of Xenon and Radon

Xenon and fluorine combine readily. Xenon tetrafluoride is a colorless crystalline material, stable at room temperature. The existence of at least one other fluoride and two oxyfluorides has been demonstrated. The heaviest "inert gas," radon, also reacts with fluorine, yielding a compound...

Description
Summary:Xenon and fluorine combine readily. Xenon tetrafluoride is a colorless crystalline material, stable at room temperature. The existence of at least one other fluoride and two oxyfluorides has been demonstrated. The heaviest "inert gas," radon, also reacts with fluorine, yielding a compound less volatile than xenon tetrafluoride.
