Xenon tetrafluoride
Xenon tetrafluoride, XeF4, is one of the few chemical compounds involving a noble gas. It was the first discovered binary compound containing a noble gas. It is formed by the reaction of Xe and F2 in the ratio of 1 mol Xe to 2 mol F2. The process is exothermic, releasing 251 kJ per mol of Xe. It occurs as colorless crystals. Additional recommended knowledgeIt sublimes at 115.7 °C (240.26 °F). Xenon fluorides are all exergonic, and quite stable at normal temperatures. They do react readily with water, even pulling water from air, so they must be kept in anhydrous conditions. ReferencesCategories: Fluorides | Xenon compounds |
