The first ionization energy of Na, NO, Xe, and O2 follows the order Na<NO<Xe=O2.O2 reacts with the powerful oxidizing agent PtF6 to yield a compound O2[PtF6].
When PtF6 is allowed to react with other mentioned species, then the product is :
A
Na[PtF6]

Solution
The correct option is D All of the above Since the ionization energy of oxygen is the maximum and [PtF6] is able to take an electron out of it, it means that all the other species having lower potentials should easily give away electrons to form a complex.
