Answer:
(1)Xe has a complete filled 5p configuration. As a result when it undergoes bonding with an odd number (3 or 5) of F atoms it leaves behind one unpaired electron. This causes the molecule to become unstable. As a result XeF3 and XeF5 do not exist.
(2)
Among the noble gases only xenon is well known to form chemical compounds. Only xenon is well known to form chemical compounds, because xenon is large in size and having higer atomic mass. Due to having larger atomic radius the force of attraction between the outer electron and the protons in the nucleus is weaker.
