Interpretation : Bartlett used a fluorine compound for the synthesis of the noble gas compound to be hypothesized.
Concept Introduction : The elements of group 18 are called a noble gas. Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon are among the elements of group 18.
Bartlett used a fluorine compound for the synthesis of the noble gas because they are highly reactive in nature.
The first noble gas compound was prepared by Neil Bartlett.
He prepared the compound of xenon by reacting the xenon with
The compound formed is
The most reactive element is fluorine, which can interact with almost every other element.
Platinum is in an unusual +6 oxidate state.
