A) \[{{O}_{2}}\] and Xe have comparable sizes.
B) both \[{{O}_{2}}\] and Xe are gases.
C) \[{{O}_{2}}\] and Xe have comparable ionization energies.
D) Both [a] and [c]
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] (i) The first ionization energy of xenon \[\left( 1,170\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-}} \right)\] is quite close to that of dioxygen \[\left( 1,180\,kJmo{{l}^{-1}} \right).\] (ii) The molecular diameters of xenon and dioxygen are almost identical. Based on the above similarities Barlett (who prepared \[O_{2}^{+}{{[Pt{{F}_{6}}]}^{-}}\] compound) suggested that since oxygen combines with \[Pt{{F}_{6}}\] so xenon should also form similar compound with \[Pt{{F}_{6}}\].
