as a base compound.
This is because:
A
Both 
and Xe have same size.
and Xe have same size.
B
Both 
and Xe have same electron gain enthalpy.
and Xe have same electron gain enthalpy.
C
Both 
and Xe have almost same ionisation enthalpy.
and Xe have almost same ionisation enthalpy.
D
Both Xe and 
are gases.
are gases.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Bartlett had taken 
as a base compound because 
and Xe both have almost same ionisation enthalpy. The ionisation enthalpies of noble gases are the highest in their respective periods due to their stable electronic configurations.
