Q1.

Fluorine is the most reactive element in group 7 of the Periodic Table.
Fluorine reacts with all the other elements in the Periodic Table except some of the noble gases. It does not react with helium, neon and argon, but it does react with xenon. Many substances burst into flames when exposed to fluorine.

(iii)     The experiment was repeated many years later but the gases were mixed in a different type of container. A white solid was obtained which was xenon fluoride.

         Predict whether you think (1) krypton and (2) radon will react with fluorine. Explain the reasons for your predictions.
