WebElements Periodic Table of the Elements | Radon

Chemical reactions of the elements

Reaction of radon with air

Radon gas does not react with air.

Reaction of radon with water

Radon does not react with water. It does, however, dissolve slightly to the extent of about 230 cm³ kg^-1 at 20°C (293 K)

Reaction of radon with the halogens

Radon gas does not react with halogens other than fluorine. It seems that radon gas reacts with fluorine to form the difluoride radon(II) fluoride, RnF₂, but the compound is not properly characterized.

Reaction of radon with acids

Radon gas does not react with acids.

Reaction of radon with bases

Radon gas does not react with bases.
