Xenon

Xenon is used in various medical applications, including anesthesia and medical imaging. It also has potential industrial uses, such as in lighting and electronics. Additionally, xenon is being studied for potential therapeutic applications in conditions like traumatic brain injury and nerve damage.

The Lewis structure for Xenon Tetrafluoride (XeF4) consists of Xenon (Xe) at the center with four fluorine (F) atoms surrounding it. Xenon has 8 valence electrons and each fluorine contributes 7 valence electrons for a total of 8+4(7) = 36 valence electrons in the structure. Xenon forms single bonds with each of the four fluorine atoms, resulting in a structure with 2 lone pairs on Xenon and 4 bonding pairs.

It is an inert gas but it can turn metallic if it is at a temperature under -112°C(-170°F) under a pressure of 150GPa(21753600psi).

XeF4 is isostructural with ICl4. Both compounds have a square planar molecular geometry with bond angles of 90 degrees and are considered isostructural due to their similar arrangement of atoms in the molecule.

Xenon is used in various applications such as in lighting, anesthesia, and as a propellant in ion thrusters due to its properties such as inertness, high density, and ability to produce a bright light when electrified. It is also used in certain medical imaging techniques like MRI and as a contrast agent in CT scans.

Other noble gases such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, and radon have similar properties to xenon. They all are colorless, odorless, and relatively chemically inert. They also have low melting and boiling points.

Non-polar because Iodine is evenly 'distributed' or the molecule's angles are 180 degrees, and since there is equal pull from each iodine, and no lone pairs, the answer is nonpolar.

There is not a widely recognised Latin name.

Xenon is considered to be weakly reactive because it has a completely filled outer electron shell, making it stable and less likely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Additionally, the large size of xenon atoms and their poor overlap with other atoms' orbitals further diminishes its reactivity.

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 is a colorless, odorless, and heavy noble gas. It has a high density in its liquid and solid forms and is unreactive under normal conditions. Xenon has a low boiling point, making it useful in various applications such as in lighting and as an anesthetic.

Xenon is a nonmetal. It is a colorless, odorless gas found in the Earth's atmosphere.

Xenon is in Group 18, the "inert" elements.

Van der Waals dispersion forces, as xenon is a noble gas and does not readily form covalent or ionic bonds. These forces are weak interactions that result from temporary fluctuations in electron density around the xenon atoms.

In view of the fact that at normal temperature and pressure, Xenon is a gas, the idea of its hardness makes little sense - if any.

Xenon, a gas at room temperature, does not have a texture. It feels like air.

Yes, xenon can form compounds with other elements, although it is relatively unreactive compared to other noble gases. Xenon can form compounds with elements such as fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen, known as xenon fluorides, xenon oxides, and xenon nitrides, respectively. These compounds are typically formed under specific conditions and are often quite unstable.

At normal temperature and pressure it is a gas.

Most isotopes of Xenon are stable and so do not decay. The shortest lived isotope has a half life of more than 10^16 (10 quadrillion) years.

Another name for xenon is Xe which is its chemical symbol.

The atomic mass of xenon is about 131.29 atomic mass units.

Xenon has 54 electrons 77 neutrons and 54 electrons

Neither - it is an inert/noble gas and quite stable.

Xenon has 54 electrons in total. Its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d^10 5s^2 5p^6, which means it has 46 core electrons (from the noble gas core of krypton - [Kr]) and 8 valence electrons.

Xenon is a noble gas at room temperature and pressure, meaning it exists as a gas.
