Question

Why do noble gases form compounds with fluorine and oxygen only

Answer 1

Noble gases are unmotivated to lose, gain or share electrons because they already have all the electrons required to be stable. One exception that does form compounds is the noble gas xenon. Xenon can react with fluorine and oxygen in a process known as oxidation to form new molecular compounds.

Answer 2

Hey !!

Fluorine and oxygen are the most electronegative elements and hence are very reactive. So, they form compounds with noble gases, particularly xenon.

Good luck !!
