Compounds of Xenon PDF

This document discusses the compounds formed when xenon reacts with fluorine and oxygen. Xenon readily combines with fluorine to form xenon fluorides including XeF2, XeF4, XeF6. Xenon also reacts with oxygen to form compounds such as XeO3, XeO4, XeOF2, and XeO2F2. The structures and bonding of these various xenon compounds are described.
