Generally in group 18 very rare reactions are observed but fluorides of Xe show variety of reactions. Mainly these fluorides behave like a replacement of fluorine in redox reactions, to control the vigourisity of chemical reaction.

List - I (Chemical reaction)	List - II (Properties of products formed/properties of reaction)
(P) $XeF_{2} + H_{2} O \to$	(1) Disproportionation
(Q) $XeF_{2} + H_{2} \to$	(2) One of the final product is used in etching of glass
(R) $XeF_{4} + H_{2} O \to$	(3) At least one gaseous product is formed.
(S) $XeF_{6} + H_{2} O in Alkaline medium$	(4) One of the product(s) is paramagnetic
	(5) Redox reaction

The correct option is :
