Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clathrates are compounds in which small molecules or ions are trapped in cages formed by the host molecule. While all the options except for Ne can form clathrates with water, Ne is an inert gas and does not undergo chemical reactions to form such compounds. Therefore, the best choice is C, as it is the only molecule that cannot form clathrates with water.
