Re: Xenon
I think he mentioned something about how since xenon has a low electronegativity, its electrons are more easily distorted by atoms with stronger electronegativity, like fluorine.

Exactly! But he was careful to add that this cannot occur with some noble gases, specifically He and Ne, and only at extremely low temperatures with Ar.

In addition, Xe is highly polarizable since it has so many electrons, so it will be able to bond with highly electronegative atoms like F.

Re: Xenon
He was also saying that the molecular structures involving Xenon are very rare because it is a noble gas and usually won't react.
