Xenon (Xe)

Xenon is the 54th element in the periodic table and has a symbol of Xe and atomic number of 54. It has an atomic weight of 131.293 and a mass number of 132. Xenon has fifty-four protons and seventy-eight neutrons in its nucleus, and fifty-four electrons in five shells. It is located in group eighteen, period five and block p of the periodic table. Colourless, odourless gas belonging to group 18 on the periodic table (the noble gases.) Nine natural isotopes and seven radioactive isotopes are known. Xenon was part of the first noble-gas compound synthesized. Several others involving Xenon have been found since then. Xenon was discovered by Ramsey and Travers in 1898.

History

Xenon was discovered in England by the Scottish chemist William Ramsay and English chemist Morris Travers in 1898. They found xenon in the residue left over from evaporating components of liquid air. Spectroscopic analysis showed the previously unseen beautiful blue lines that indicated the presence of a new element. From the Greek word xenon, stranger

Discoverers	Sir William Ramsay; M. W. Travers
Discovery Location	England
Discovery Year	1898
Etymology (Name Origin)	Greek: xenos (strange).
Pronunciation	ZEE-non (English)

Xenon is not toxic, but its compounds are highly toxic

If inhaled, xenon can cause a person's voice to deepen

Uses

Xenon is used in flash lamps and arc lamps, and in photographic flashes. Xenon is used in medicine as a general anesthetic and in medical imaging. In nuclear energy applications, xenon is used in bubble chambers, probes, and in other areas where a high molecular weight and inert nature is desirable. Used for filling flash lamps and other powerful lamps. Electrical excitation of xenon produces a burst of brilliant whtie light. Also used in bubble chambers and modern nuclear power reactors.

Sources

Obtain from the small quantities in liquid air.
