    Noble gas elements form compounds only with fluorine and oxygen. Explain.

    Answer:

                    Noble gas elements have highly symmetrical electronic configuration and therefore, high ionisation enthalpies. Since all their occupied orbitals are filled, they normally cannot form any compounds. However, the elements fluorine and oxygen with high electro negativity can cause the promotion of electrons from filled valence p-orbitals to the vacant d-orbitals. This, too, is possible mainly in case of xenon in which the ionisation enthalpy is the minimum and the promotion of electrons is rather easy. No other elements are in a position to form compounds with noble gas elements. For details, consult Section 7.32.
