To create a xenon rocket, a spacecraft must have an electric propulsion system that ionizes xenon gas and accelerates the ions to generate thrust. This technology is called ion propulsion, and it is used in deep space missions to provide efficient and long-lasting propulsion compared to traditional chemical rockets. Xenon rockets are ideal for long-duration missions due to their high specific impulse.

A rocket needs a powerful thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and lift off. This thrust is typically provided by rocket engines that burn fuel to create a force that propels the rocket upward. Additionally, the rocket needs a stable structure to withstand the forces of liftoff and the harsh conditions of space.
Xenon was discovered by William Ramsay and Morris Travers in 1898. They isolated xenon by fractional distillation of liquid air.
Oxidizer in a rocket refers to the component of the propulsion system that provides the oxygen needed to combust the fuel. It reacts with the fuel to create the high-temperature exhaust gases that propel the rocket. Common oxidizers include liquid oxygen and nitrogen tetroxide.

Xenon is non-magnetic because it does not have unpaired electrons in its electron configuration to create a magnetic field.

Xenon can form a compound with fluorine by sharing electrons to create a covalent bond. Xenon has the ability to expand its valence shell by accepting electron pairs from fluorine atoms, allowing them to form a stable compound. This results in xenon difluoride (XeF2), where each xenon atom is bonded to two fluorine atoms.

Xenon gas can be mixed with other noble gases such as helium, argon, or krypton to create specific gas mixtures for various applications like lighting, medical imaging, or anesthesia. It can also be mixed with oxygen for medical use in xenon anesthesia.
When you mix fluorine with xenon, the fluorine can react with xenon to form xenon fluorides, such as xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) or xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). These xenon fluorides are generally unstable and highly reactive compounds.
Xenon is a noble gas. I would think any compounds would be hard to make with using Xenon.

Xenon Difluoride
Xenon has a hexafluoride, which is xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). Argon does not have a stable hexafluoride compound.
