Xenon is a noble gas, and provides an inert atmosphere for most chemical reactions--it does form fluorides and oxides, however, the latter of which are sensitive explosives and can oxidize metals to their highest states. Xenon is also a medical asphixiant.
XE is the symbol for xenon on the periodic table. Atomic # 54.
Xenon is a trace gas. Air is about .08 parts per million of Xenon. (For every million grams of air, there are .08 grams of xenon)
Xenon is an anaesthetic gas but otherwise is harmless.
Xenon produces a beautiful blue glow when excited by an electrical discharge. Xenon lamps have applications as high-speed electronic flash bulbs used by photographers, sunbed lamps and bactericidal lamps used in food preparation and processing. Xenon lamps are also used in ruby lasers. Xenon difluoride is used to etch silicon microprocessors. Xenon ion propulsion systems are used by satellites.
Xenon is used in Electron tubes, bactericidal lamps, strobe lamps, xenon lamps for surgery, and vehicle headlights (more so in planes and boats).
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.
Xenon has 54 electrons.
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.
