Answer all 3 parts (A, B, & C). All noble gases except helium crystallize with cubic close-packed structures at very low temperatures. Cubic close-packed structures have face-centered cubic unit cells. Xenon freezes at 161.40 K.  A) What is the coordination number of xenon in the solid-state? B) Of the following: Covalent bonding, Ionic bonding, dispersion forces, ion-dipole forces, dipole-dipole forces, what holds the xenon atoms in place in the solid-state? C) Xe has a density of 3.640 g/cm^3, what is the approximate radius of a xenon atom?
