Question

Bartlett synthesised XePtF6 from his knowledge of earlier known compound O2PtF6.​

Answer 1

Answer: Neil Bartlett initially carried out a reaction between oxygen and PtF6. This resulted in the formation of a red compound, O+2[PtF6]-.

Later, he realized that the first ionization energy of oxygen (1175 kJ/mol) and Xe (1170 kJ/mol) is almost the same. Thus, he tried to prepare a compound with Xe and PtF6. He was successful and a red-coloured compound, Xe+[PtF6]- was formed.

Answer 2

_______________________

When Bartlett synthesised XePtF6 from his knowledge of earlier known compound O2PtF6.

He prepared a compound based on ionisation of oxygen and xenon which resulted a red colour compound Xe+[PtF6].
