Vedclass · Answer

(D) Clathrates are cage-like structures where guest molecules are trapped within the crystal lattice of host molecules. In the case of $Xe$ clathrates,$Xe$ atoms are trapped in the cavities formed by water molecules or other host molecules like quinol. Since $Xe$ is a noble gas,it is non-polar. When it approaches a polar molecule (like $H_2O$),it induces a dipole in the $Xe$ atom. This results in a weak attractive force known as a dipole-induced dipole interaction.
