Question:
The paper ‘Atypical compounds of gases which have been called “noble”’ (Chem. Soc. Rev., 2007, 36, 1632) provides a thorough account of the range of compounds formed by Group 18 elements. Among the compounds described are XeF5Cl, HXeOOXeH, and ClXeFXeCl+. Sketch the structures of these molecules. Outline the author’s rationale for classing noble-gas atoms as Lewis bases and describe why XeF2 acts as a ligand with metal cations. Only one compound of xenon with mercury was described. Give the formula of this compound, outline its synthesis, and give the Hg–Xe bond energy and bond length.

As a Business Management graduate from Moi University, I had the opportunity to work as a tutor for undergraduate students in the same field. This experience allowed me to apply the theoretical knowledge I had gained in a practical setting, while also honing my teaching and communication skills.
As a tutor, I was responsible for conducting tutorial sessions, grading assignments and exams, and providing feedback and support to my students. I also assisted with the preparation of course materials and collaborated with other tutors and professors to ensure consistency in teaching and assessment.
