A gas that is in the air. It is used in some car headlights.
Because Sir William Ramsay named it after the Greek word xenon, meaning foreigner, stranger or guest.
It comes from the Greek word, xenon, meaning stranger. William Ramsay and Morris Travers discovered krypton and neon by evaporating components of liquid air. They found a gas in he residue left over from evaporating components of liquid air. Ramsay suggested the name xenon for this gas from the Greek word, xenon, meaning foreigner / stranger / guest.
It was called xenon because In Greek it is xenos , meaning stranger, because it is pretty rare to find in the air you breathe.
Xenon (Xe) has an atomic number of fifty-four. It is an odorless, colorless, noble gas that gives off a blue glow when electrified in a vacuum tube. Xenon is the most dense of all the noble gases and the most expensive. Xenon comes from the Greek word-Xenon, meaning stranger, and from the Greek word-Xenos, meaning strange. While inert and not readily reacting with other elements, xenon and oxygen compounds can be toxic and explosive. Xenon is found in the atmosphere of the Earth, the Mars and the Jupiter. Xenon found in meteorites also serves as an indicator of solar system formation. Several of xenon's unstable isotopes are produced from the fission of uranium and plutonium, and therefore result from a nuclear explosion.
Covalent, because Xenon (non-metal) and Fluoride (non-metal) and the tetra is a prefix meaning four. Non-metal+non-metal= covalent bonds.

No. Xenon doesn't react, it's a noble gas (meaning it has a full outer shell of valence electrons).

Yes-Xenon is a gas, an element atomic number 54
παράξενο (paraxeno). the element is Xenon (Xeno).
The name Xenon comes from the Latin route of rexenonion meaning "coming from the water". so when Michela Lateron discovered the element he thought the name would be perfect because Xenon forms after water leaves!Xenon is came from Ramsay suggested the name xenon for this gas from the Greek word ξένον [xenon], neuter singular form of ξένος [xenos], meaning 'foreign(er)', 'strange(r)', or 'guest'.Xenon was discovered in England by William Ramsay and Morris Travers on July 12, 1898, shortly after their discovery of the elements krypton and neon. They found it in the residue left over from evaporating components of liquid air.
It is derived from the Greek word xenos, meaning stranger, or alien or guest.
It should be ONXe but here it is O2N2Xe meaning there are 2 oxygen atoms, 2 nitrogen atoms and 1 Xenon atom. It must be a "special" compound
Xenon Difluoride
