What are uses of the noble gas Xenon?

Xenon is used in Electron tubes, bactericidal lamps, strobe lamps, xenon lamps for surgery, and vehicle headlights (more so in planes and boats). Xenon is used for making electron tubes, stroboscopic lamps, lamps used to excite ruby lasers for generating coherent light. Xenon is also used in the nuclear energy field in bubble chambers, probes, and other applications where a high molecular weight is of value. The perxenates are used in analytical chemistry as oxidizing agents. Xenon is used in strobe lights and also in photography Xenon is one among the inert gas family. It can be used in discharge lamps to produce green light. This green light would be used in ruby laser to take Chromium atoms to excited level. It is used in several different applications including the AeroSpace industry, as a propellant, as a general anesthetic and in the production of arc lights.


What are more interesting facts about xenon?

Xenon was discovered in 1898 shortly after William Ramsay and Morris Travers discovered krypton and neon. Xenon is a trace element in the Earth's atmosphere. Xenon is found in atmosphere of planet Mars and Jupiter. Xenon can be forced into a solid metallic phase by extreme pressure, as much as several hundred kilobars. In its metallic state, xenon has a sky blue color. There are more than forty radioactive isotopes of xenon. Due to electrical excitement, xenon is used in high-powered lamps and flash lamps such as photography strobe lights. While inert and not readily reacting with other elements, xenon and oxygen compounds can be toxic and explosive.


What does kr mean on the periodic table?

Kr on the periodic table stands for krypton. Krypton is a colorless, odorless noble gas element that is commonly used in lighting, such as in fluorescent lamps and plasma screens.
