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.

What are some compounds of xenon?

Some compounds of xenon include xenon hexafluoride (XeF6), xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4), xenon trioxide (XeO3), and xenon difluoride (XeF2). Xenon can form compounds with fluorine, oxygen, and other elements due to its ability to expand its valence shell.

What compounds can xenon form?

Xenon can form compounds with elements such as fluorine, oxygen, and chlorine. Some common xenon compounds include xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4), xenon hexafluoride (XeF6), xenon difluoride (XeF2), xenon trioxide (XeO3), and xenon tetroxide (XeO4).


What happens when xenon reacts with oxygen?

When xenon reacts with oxygen, it forms xenon oxides such as xenon trioxide (XeO3) or xenon tetroxide (XeO4), depending on the conditions. These compounds are highly unstable and reactive, making them useful for certain chemical reactions. Xenon can also form xenon dioxide (XeO2) in some cases.

What is some info on xenon oxytetrafluoride?

XeOF4 or xenon oxytetrafluoride is in inorganic chemical compound. It is a colourless volatile liquid which solidifies at about 245 K. It is extremely reactive, unstable. It should be kept away from water or moisture as it can be hydrolysed to give hazardous, corrosive products such as HF.
