What Are The Properties Of XeO4?

XeO4 (xenon tetroxide) is a yellow crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 195.28 g/mol. It has a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is highly explosive and unstable, decomposing violently at room temperature and pressure. XeO4 is a strong oxidizing agent and reacts violently with reducing agents, organic materials, and metals. Its melting point is -35°C, and it does not have a boiling point since it decomposes before reaching its boiling point. XeO4 is sparingly soluble in water and forms a yellow solution.
