- Because they have a complete valence layer, high ionization energy and virtually zero electron affinity, it was long considered that noble gases would not form chemical compounds. However, in 1962, the reaction between xenon (5s25p6 valence layer) and platinum hexafluoride was successfully carried out and, since then, more new compounds of noble gases have been synthesized. Such compounds demonstrate that one cannot uncritically accept the octet rule, in which it is considered that, in a chemical bond, atoms tend to acquire stability by assuming the electronic configuration of noble gas.
