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.
