    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Radon can be oxidized by various fluorine compounds in hydrogen fluoride, forming stable radon fluoride solutions. Electromigration indicates radon exists as a cation in these solutions.

    Area of Science:

    • Inorganic Chemistry
    • Radiochemistry

    Background:

    • Radon, a noble gas, exhibits unique chemical properties due to its electron configuration.
    • Understanding radon's reactivity is crucial for handling and potential applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the oxidation of radon using various oxidizing agents.
    • To characterize the resulting radon fluoride species in solution.

    Main Methods:

    • Oxidation of radon using chlorine fluorides, bromine fluorides, iodine heptafluoride, and NiF(6)(2)- ion.
    • Conducting reactions in hydrogen fluoride solvent.
    • Electromigration studies to determine ionic state.

    Main Results:

    • Stable solutions of radon fluoride were successfully formed.
  • Electromigration experiments revealed radon exists as a cation (Rn(2)+ or RnF+).

    • Conclusions:

    • Radon can be chemically modified and stabilized in solution.
    • The cationic nature of radon in these fluoride solutions provides insight into its chemical behavior.
