There are 40 unstable isotopes (an element contained in xenon) that undergo radioactive decay.
Xenon is generally non-toxic at normal atmospheric concentrations. However, inhaling high levels of xenon gas can displace oxygen, leading to oxygen deprivation. Inhaling xenon in large quantities can also cause dizziness, nausea, and asphyxiation.
Xenon is an inert or noble gas. It is odorless, colorless and tasteless. As with all inert gases, it is reluctant to react chemically with other things, and is not overtly dangerous. But xenon can displace oxygen, which you need. If you were somehow stuck in a room full of xenon, you'd have only a few moments to get out before you passed out and you were asphyxiated.
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 has a hexafluoride, which is xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). Argon does not have a stable hexafluoride compound.

Xenon Difluoride
Xenon has a hexafluoride, which is xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). Argon does not have a stable hexafluoride compound.
Yes, xenon can form monatomic ions, known as xenon ions. Xenon can lose electrons to form positively charged xenon ions or gain electrons to form negatively charged xenon ions.
Xenon has 54 electrons.
Xenon Trioxide
In crystals of xenon, the species occupying the lattice points is xenon atoms. In xenon tetrafluoride crystals, the species occupying the lattice points is a combination of xenon atoms and fluorine atoms in a specific arrangement.
Xenon commonly combines with fluorine to form xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) and xenon hexafluoride (XeF6), as well as oxygen to form xenon tetroxide (XeO4).
Xenon was discovered in 1898 and named Xenon. There is no Latin name.
