The first laboratory experiments to produce compounds containing noble gas atoms aroused great excitement, not because the compounds might be useful but because they demonstrated that the noble gases were not completely inert. Since that time, however, important uses have been found for a number of noble gas compounds. For example, xenon difluoride, XeF2, is an excellent fluorinating agent (a substance that adds fluorine atoms to other substances). One reason
it is preferred over certain other fluorinating agents is that the products of its fluorinating reactions are easily separated from the gaseous xenon. The following unbalanced equation represents one such reaction:
S3O9 + XeF2 → S2O6F2 + Xe
Balance this equation.
What is the minimum number of moles of XeF2 necessary to react with 4
moles of S3O9?
What is the maximum number of moles of S2O6F2 that can form from the
complete reaction of 4 moles of S3O9 and 7 moles of XeF2?
How many moles of xenon gas form from the complete…

- The compound hexaazaisowurtzitane is one of the highest-energy explosives known (C E News, Jan. 17, 1994, p. 26). The compound, also known as CL-20, was first synthesized in 1987. The method of synthesis and detailed performance data are still classified because of CL-20s potential military application in rocket boosters and in warheads of smart weapons. The structure of CL-20 is In such shorthand structures, each point where lines meet represents a carbon atom. In addition, the hydrogens attached to the carbon atoms are omitted; each of the six carbon atoms has one hydrogen atom attached. Finally, assume that the two O atoms in the NO2 groups are attached to N with one single bond and one double bond. Three possible reactions for the explosive decomposition ofCL-20 are i.

- Metals can be rolled into sheets and stamped into various forms. In contrast, diamond is very hard and brittle. Which explanation for these different properties is correct? Metals have semi-ionic bonds, whereas diamond has covalent bonds. The electrons of a metal are held more tightly to the parent atom than the electrons of carbon. Hence, the bonds in a metal are stronger than the bonds in diamond. Metals are made of metal atoms, whereas diamond is made of non-metal carbon atoms. The electrons that surround a metal atom are free to move through the metal. The bonding electron pairs in a diamond are held tightly between two carbon atoms in an overall tetrahedral pattern. Diamond has strong double bonds between carbon atoms. Metal bonds are normally single covalent bonds, which bend easily.arrow_forward84.
