Xenon

produces no luster

Xenon (Xe) has 8 valence electrons. In XeF4, each Fluorine (F) atom contributes 1 electron to form a bond with Xenon, so there are a total of 8 + 4 = 12 electrons surrounding the Xenon atom.

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.

The element xenon's name comes from the Greek word "xenon," which means "foreign" or "strange." This name was chosen because xenon was initially observed as an unusual and unexpected component in the Earth's atmosphere.

Each orbital in Xenon has its full complement of electrons.

The first discovered compound formed by xenon is xenon hexafluoroplatinate (XePtF6). It was reported in 1962 by Neil Bartlett who successfully synthesized this compound by reaction of xenon gas with platinum hexafluoride.

Neon, krypton, and xenon are all noble gases found in Group 18 of the periodic table. They are colorless, odorless, and mostly inert elements, meaning they have a stable arrangement of electrons and do not readily form compounds with other elements.

The symbol for an element is typically based on its name, so Xenon is represented by the symbol Xe. Symbol creation for elements involves various factors including language derivation, historical context, and chemical properties.

In Greek it is xenos , meaning stranger, because it is pretty rare to find in the air you breath.

The noble gas notation for xenon is [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p6.

No, no element is renewable.

It is used in UV lamps, paint testes, projection lamps, electronic flashes, xenon arc lamps etc.

It is also used in photography and as a general anaesthetic.

The density of gases depend on the temperature and pressure. In the case of xenon, at 0 °C and 101.325 kPa, the density is 5.894 g/L

Xenon obeys octet rule and has a stable electronic configuration. So, xenon does not form any anion.

Xenon was discovered in 1898 and named Xenon. There is no Latin name.

Xenon has been used as a general anesthetic.

Xenon is finding application in treating brain injuries.

Xenon has been used to image the heart, lungs, and brain.

it's used to measure blood flow.

other applications in lasers, gas discharge lamps, spectroscopy, nuclear energy, etc..

The most stable ion of Xenon is Xe2+. This ion is formed by losing two electrons from the outermost shell of Xenon, resulting in a stable electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas krypton.

Xenon is pronounced ZEE-non.

One industry that uses xenon is the communication satellite industry. Many dozens of these satellites use xenon for their station keeping electric propulsion systems. Both Ion and Hall electric thrusters can run on xenon.

All are examples of noble gases and they are generally non-reactive under normal temperature and pressure. All have stable electronic configuration, helium has only 2 valence electrons whereas other noble gases have 8 valence electrons (satisfy octet rule).

A Xenon neutron has between 70 to 82 neutrons.

Yes, nitrogen can mix with xenon. Both gases are commonly used in gas mixtures for various applications, such as in lighting, anesthesia, and electronics manufacturing. Mixing them can help achieve specific properties or performance characteristics required for the application.

The atomic symbol for xenon is Xe.

Xenon belongs to the noble gases group in the periodic table.
