Answer 7

Hello, @Technodynamic
Do you still need help?

Answer 8

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
