anonymous · Answer

does the question tell you what xenon is bonding to???

technodynamic · Answer

It's a nonbonding atomic bond.

technodynamic · Answer

It just says Xe(s).

anonymous · Answer

It is a monatomic molecular substance. None of the other choices are reasonable.

sweetburger · Answer

I don't see how any of the answer choices fit what Xe(s) actually is.

anonymous · Answer

Hmmm well it can be metallic. Xenon is unique for being the first noble gas element to be synthesized into a compound. http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/Inorganic_Chemistry/Descriptive_Chemistry/p-Block_Elements/Group_18%3A_The_Noble_Gases/Chemistry_of_Xenon

Hello, @Technodynamic 
Do you still need help?

technodynamic · Answer

Yeah I'm confused about what Xe(s) is. Lol. I read the book, but It only says its a nonbonding atomic solid. I'm clueless of how to classify it. I researched many articles online to learn more about this particular solid, but it doesn't explain which one of the choices are of a Xe(s). My teacher  loves picking tricky questions. Lol
