Xenon Tetroxide
Xenon tetroxide
is a
yellow
crystalline
solid
that is stable below -35.9°
C
.
Xenon
here has an
oxidation state
of +8 and
oxygen
of -2. All eight
outermost shell
electrons
of xenon are involved, making it an
unstable
compound
. Above -35.9°C, however, it explodes to give xenon and oxygen gas.
Oxygen
is the only
element
that can bring
xenon
up to its highest
oxidation state
, even
fluorine
can only give XeF
6
. Xenon tetroxide dissolves in water to give
perxenic acid
, and in
alkalis
to give the
perxenate
ion.
