Question

Why noble gases only react with oxygen and fluorine?

Answer 1

Explanation:

noble gases only react with Oxygen and fluorine as noble gases are inert and not very reactive

O² and F² are very reactive and hence react with Noble gases

Answer 2

Explanation:

Not all the noble gases combine with oxygen and fluorine. Only the heavier noble gases like Xe, etc will react with oxygen and fluorine. Noble gas form compounds with oxygen and fluorine only because they are most electronegative elements.
