<h3>What is a noble gas?</h3>
A noble gas is member of group 18 in the periodic table. The members of this group are known not to be reactive and they do not easily form compounds. However, there have been few compounds of the members of group 18 that have been reported.
Let us now calculate the relative molecular mass of xenon tetraoxide.
Xe + 4 (O)
131 + 4(16) = 195
Given that the mass of oxygen in the compound is 64, the mass percent of oxygen in xenon tetroxide is obtained from;
64/195 * 100/1
= 32.82%

There is an unstable ratio of protons and neutrons. Because protons are positively charged but neutrons have no charge, an increase in the number of protons means there needs to be an increase in the number of neutrons to "bind" the nucleus together. This is because like charges repel, so the protons will repel each other, and if there aren't enough neutrons to act as "glue" to hold the nucleus together, the nucleus will break apart.
