Will xenon react with nitrogen, and why?

Asked by Heyitshollie

Answer (3)

No, xenon will not react on Nitrogen because xenon only reacts with oxygen and fluorine. Xenon only reacts with the 2 elements because these 2 elements contain a strong electronegative element which is high in energy barrier that can move the electrons inside xenon elements. Xenon is an element with a symbol of Xe, it is odorless and colorless gas. Common uses of xenon are flash lamps and arc lamps. Xenon is a luminous element, it glows when placed near to high voltage electric field.

Xenon can form stable compounds with highly electronegative elements, but there is no direct evidence of a facile reaction between xenon and nitrogen under normal conditions. ;

Xenon does not react with nitrogen because of its stable electronic configuration, which makes it non-reactive under normal conditions. It primarily reacts with highly electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen. Therefore, under typical conditions, there is no compound formed between xenon and nitrogen.
