  • In the preparation of compounds of Xe, Bartlett had taken O_{2}+Pt F^{6-} as a base compound. This is because (i) both O_{2} and Xe has the same size. (ii) both O_{2} and Xe has the same electron gain enthalpy.

In the preparation of compounds of Xe, Bartlett had taken O_{2}^+Pt F^{-}_{6} as a base compound. This is because

(i) both O_{2} and Xe has the same size.

(ii) both O_{2} and Xe has the same electron gain enthalpy.

(iii) both O_{2} and Xe has almost same ionisation enthalpy.

(iv) both Xe and O_{2} are gases

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (iii). The ionization enthalpy of O_{2} is nearly equal to that of Xe, because of which Barlett chose O_{2} compounds as base.
