Choose the incorrect statement about noble gas?

Options

  1. ABoiling point increases with increasing atomic mass
  2. BHelium has least tendency to form compound
  3. CNoble gases have some value of electron affinity
  4. DXenon has maximum number of compounds

Correct answer

C. Noble gases have some value of electron affinity

Step-by-step solution

(1) Intermolecular van der Waals' force exists between atoms of noble gases. The magnitude of these forces increases with increasing atomic mass which directly related to boiling point. (2) As ionisation energy of helium is maximum, thus, electrons are lightly held to the nucleus and therefore has least tendency to form compound. (3) As valence shells of noble gases are complete, thus they do not show tendency to gain electrons. Therefore, they have zero electron affinity. (4) As Xenon has lowest ionisation energy,
