No, he is not correct. Xenon is not very reactive since it is located in the group of noble gases. The noble gases are all chemically unreactive gases.Elements within different groups within the periodic table have different physical and chemical properties. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

Answer is no because,

Explanation:

Although iodine is a non-metal, it displays some METALLIC properties. Xenon is one of the inert or noble gases and is odorless, colorless, tasteless and chemically NON REACTIVE
