Chem Q about Xe

Xe has the ability hybridise its filled s and p orbitals with d orbitals to form hybrid orbitals which can bond to F. ***
Compounds formed is because of hybridization of orbitals of the atoms. First you need to know how many orbitals there are in an atom.
Level 1: s
Level 2: s, p
- - 3: s, p, d
- - 4: s, p, d, f
- - 5: s, p, d
- - 6: s, p
- - 7: s

The s, p, d, f is how we name the orbitals. There are other names too but I have forgotten as they are not commonly used. Anyway, For example a H atom. It has 1 s orbital electron. Atoms need to pair up their electrons in order to obtain stability. An orbital can hold 2 e- (Now you know why they have to pair up) So the e- orbital of H will hybrid, for example, another H s orbital to obtain stability. So now, both H atoms have 2 electrons in their orbitals. You may have already known this. Xe has s, p, d orbitals in its outtermost shell. ( s holds 1 orbital, p holds 3 and d hold 5 and f holds 7, 1 orbital = 2 electrons in it ) As they are all filled, Xe is not reactive at all since the electrons are paired up already. However, because the outtermost shell is very far away from the nucleus, the attraction to the e- in the outtermost shell is weak enough to escape. So, if a certain amount of energy is given to the Xe atom, its outtermost e- will enter other atom's orbitals(which is Xe's orbitals overlapping the other's) and therefore form a compound.
