Elements have a number of electrons in their outer shell of the atom, all elements want to have a full shell and usually form with other atoms to do so. However, Xenon is a noble gas and already has a full outer shell and so does not combine with other elements unless it is made to do so.

Yes, it can combine with fluorine and oxygen, but bot very easily.


Does xenon have a presence in food?

No. Xenon is chemically inert. Hence it does not combine with other elements and is not found in food materials.


What does xenon mean in a kid definition?

Xenon is one of the elements. It is a type of gas (another example of a gas is the oxygen we all breathe). It is inert (whereas, for example, oxygen can combine with hydrogen to form water, xenon does not combine with other elements).

The noble gases include helium neon argon krypton xenon and radon. What property do these elements share?

They readily form compounds with other elements.


Is XeCl4 a covalent compound?

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.


Which element is more likely to combine with other elements calcium or xenon how do you know?

Calcium. I know because I studied chemistry.


Is xenon a single atoms?

Yes. Xenon is noble gas with stable electronic configuration. It does not combine with other elements or itself under STP and exists as single atoms (mono atomic).


What does xenon do to the environmant?

It has very little impact. It accounts for only 0.00001% of the atmosphere and, being inert, it does not readily react with other elements (or compounds)
