Which among the following noble gases reacts with fluorine to given crystalline fluorides?
Options
- ANe
- BHe
- CXe
- DAr

C. Xe
Step-by-step solution
Ionisation enthalpy decreases on moving down the group and Xe has the lowest ionization enthalpy. This is the reason that stable fluorides for noble gases are reported only with Xe.
