Question

(1 point)
• It will likely share electrons.
• It will likely lose electrons.
• It will likely be unreactive.
O It will likely gain electrons.

Answer 1

Xenon (Xe) is a noble gas, which means it has a complete outer electron shell and is generally non-reactive under standard conditions. Therefore, the correct answer is:

• It will likely be unreactive.
