The mass percent of oxygen is 32.82%.
<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%

Answer:
Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment, in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny, high- mass nucleus. In his experiment, Rutherford observed that many alpha particles were deflected at small angles while others were reflected back to the alpha source.
Explanation:
As you move across the periodic table, the number of protons and neutrons increases but the number of orbital levels of the period remains the same. The atomic radii therefore decrease, across the period, because the increase in proton number causes an increased pull of the orbital electrons bringing them closer to the nucleus.
As you move down a group in a periodic table, the number of orbital levels increase. The effective nuclear charge of the nucleus of the atoms decreases due to the increased number of orbital levels that shield the valence electrons from the attractive force nucleus.
