JEE Advanced Chemistry question

Select the correct statement(s) about the XeF4

(A)They are thermodynamically stableCorrect
(B)Xe − F bond energy is very highCorrect
(C)They are endothermic compounds
(D)They are exothermic compoundsCorrect

Answer: (A),(B),(D)

Solution

XeF4 forms from its elements, Xe + 2F2 → XeF4, with a substantial negative enthalpy of formation (it is genuinely exothermic), confirming (d) and ruling out (c). This favourable (negative ΔG)
