Xenon
  • A inert gas that is non-metallic and colourless.
  • Classified in the noble gas group.
  • Odorless gas
  • Before 1964 it was believed that it had no
    ability to create compounds.
  • When Xenon is in a vacuum tube it makes a blue
    glow when reacted to electrical discharge.
  • Discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris W.
    Travers in England in 1898.

Xenon
  • Are you looking for an odorless, colourless noble
    gas found in the Martian atmosphere at 0.08ppm?
  • Or are you looking to make different fluorides
    and oxides?
  • Or maybe you are looking for the element with 54
    protons and electrons, and neutrons with the
    atomic mass of 131.293amu
  • Well if you looking for one of these then you are
    looking for the same element.
  • You are looking for the element that
    originated from the Greek word "xenos" meaning
    "stranger, called

Xenon was discovered by residue left after
evaporating liquid air components. Krypton and
neon had been discovered by the same methods by
the same workers only weeks earlier.
You can make electron tubes, stroboscopic lamps,
bactericidal lamps, and lamps used to excite ruby
lasers for generating coherent light. If you act
now we will throw in 2 fluorides so you can make
xenon fluoride. You have all of this for the low
price of
