Chapter 19, Problem 71E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: It is given that, reaction of radon with fluorine gives a compound that is similar to the compound formed due to reaction between xenon and fluorine. The formulas of these ${\text{RnF}}_x$ are to be predicted. The reason of the fact, chemistry of radon is difficult to study, is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Radon is a group $8\text{A}$ element. It is a radioactive element.

To determine: The predicted formulas of ${\text{RnF}}_x$; the reason of the fact that, chemistry of radon is difficult to study.
