AtomicMX Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 you should slap your teacher on the check.. and well, the topic needs to be clarified, because there are quite few compounds of noble gases. and some mmmm radioactive and unfilled. if i understood well, then i disagree.

budullewraagh Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 some radioactive...people don't make radon compounds. people make xenon compounds and a few krypton compounds, but generally shy away from radon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffsjoe Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Can fluorine react with any of the noble gases? If so what does it make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 It makes interhalogen compounds such as Iodine-fluoride, chlorine-fluoride, bromine-fluoride, etc. etc. In all cases, the fluorine atom is of course in the negative oxidation state and the other halogen is in a positive oxidation state. As a result, these compounds react pretty vigorously with most anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 well, i wouldnt say that chlorine gets oxidized by fluorine, per se. it's a covalent bond with partial ionic character. "Can fluorine react with any of the noble gases? If so what does it make?" he asked if fluorine can react with NOBLE GASES, not halogens. anyway, fluorine reacts with noble gases...KrF2, XeF2, XeF4, XeF6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Wow. I really should have read the post first before I replied. That's what I get for trying to post at work. Nice catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Noble gases do not have to have there outer shell filled.It is very possible for other atoms to strip off electrons, leaving them without full shells. Thye will still be noble gases, because there position on the periodic table would be the same, but they would not have a full shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but this discussion began by talking about standard state noble gases which all do have a full outer shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
