Which noble gas element from following exhibits highest number of different oxidation states?
- A \(\mathrm{Xe}\)
- B \(\mathrm{Kr}\)
- C \(\mathrm{Ar}\)
- D \(\mathrm{Ne}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{Xe}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Xenon has large atomic size and lower ionisation enthalpy compared to \(\mathrm{He}, \mathrm{Ne}, \mathrm{Ar}\) and \(\mathrm{Kr}\). Hence, xenon exhibits highest number of different oxidation states.
