Detailed Solution

The given trend of ionization energies of Na, NO, O2 and Xe states that ionization of O2 is very high, still PtF6 successfully removed electrons from O2. This indicates that PtF6 is a powerful oxidizing agent and forms compounds with Na, NO, and Xe.

Na + PtF6  Na+ [PtF6]-  NO + PtF6  NO+ [PtF6]-  Xe + PtF6  Xe+ [PtF6]-
