What oxidation slates does Xe show in its compounds?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Xenon has the most complex chemistry of Group 18, with oxidation states of +2,+4,+6, and +8 in the compounds it forms.

Step by step solution

01

A concept of oxidation:

The total number of electrons that an atom gets or loses to establish a chemical connection with another atom is referred to as itsoxidation number.

02

What oxidation slates does Xe exhibit in its compounds?

Xenon's (Xe) valence electron configuration is 5s25p6.

In its compounds, xenon has even oxidation states.

Xenon's known compounds are XeF2,XeF4,XeF6,XeO3and XeO4.

The oxidation state of Xein XeF2is +2.

The oxidation state of Xein XeF4is +4.

The oxidation state of Xe in XeF6 is +6.

The oxidation state of Xein XeO3 is +6.

The oxidation state of Xein XeO4is +8.

03

Conclusion:

As a result, the xenon's oxidation states of xenon in its compounds are +2,+4,+6, and +8.
