The compound formed by the reaction of xenon with oxygen is C. Xenon trioxide. Xenon trioxide is a pale-yellow solid and is a powerful oxidizing agent. It is formed when xenon gas is reacted with an excess of oxygen in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum. The reaction is highly exothermic, and the resulting compound is unstable, decomposing at room temperature into xenon and oxygen gas.
