It is mainly so. But diatomic Xenon is used in Xenon lasers.
An atom of xenon contains 54 electrons, the atomic number of xenon.
Xenon is an element. It is a noble gas with the atomic number 54 and is found on the periodic table as a single, pure substance.
No, first xenon is an element, and so cannot be polar. Second, it is monatomic, and a single atom cannot be polar.
Take the element "Iron" then the symbol for the element is "Fe" and "Fe" is also the symbol for a single atom of the element in a chemical equation.

A proton is a subatomic particle which is the same in whichever element it is found. A proton from a Xenon atom is no different to that from a Hydrogen atom or a Uranium atom.
Naturally xenon molecules contain a single atom. But the earliest xenon lasers used Xenon dimer Xe2.
Xenon is an element. It is mostly found in atomic form but can exist as a diatomic molecule.
No, first xenon is an element, and so cannot be polar. Second, it is monatomic, and a single atom cannot be polar.
Xenon, in group 0, does form an oxide, xenon tetroxide (XeO4) in which xenon has, formally, a valence of eight.
Take the element "Iron" then the symbol for the element is "Fe" and "Fe" is also the symbol for a single atom of the element in a chemical equation.
compounds
Xe is the element xenon, which is a single element, not a compound. A compound, by definition is composed of two or more elements. Xenon rarely forms compounds at all, but in fact it can combine with some other elements such as fluorine.
The atomic mass unit (amu) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights. The atomic mass of a single atom of xenon is approximately 131.29 amu.
Mercury is an element, which means the smallest unit is a single atom.
