Xenon, being a noble gas, typically does not form ions easily. However, when it does participate in reactions, it can form compounds.
The cation of xenon is often represented as Xe+ when it loses an electron, while there is no stable anion for xenon in common chemistry. The chemical formula for xenon in its elemental form is simply Xe.
In more complex scenarios, xenon can combine with other elements to form various compounds, such as xenon difluoride (XeF2), where xenon is chemically bonded to fluorine. However, it is important to note that these compounds do not involve the formation of traditional cations and anions associated with more reactive elements.
