Xenic acid is a noble gas compound formed by the dissolution of xenon trioxide in water. Its chemical structure is H2XeO4. It is a very powerful oxidizing agent, and decomposition of this chemical is dangerous as it liberates a large amount of gaseous products - xenon, oxygen, and ozone.
Its existence was hypothesized by Linus Pauling in 1933.[1] Xenic acid has been used as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry.
