Xenon
| Description
Xenon is a chemical element represented by the symbol Xe. Its atomic number is 54. A colorless, heavy, odorless noble gas, xenon occurs in the Earth's atmosphere in trace amounts. Although generally unreactive, xenon can undergo a few chemical reactions such as the formation of xenon hexafluoroplatinate, the first noble gas compound to be synthesized.
| Usage
- Illumination and optics (HID lamps, gas-discharge lamps, high pressure sodium lamps, PDP TV)
- Eximer lasers (xenon chloride eximer laser)
- Anesthesia, medical imaging
- Nuclear energy (bubble chamber)
- Spacecraft (ion propulsion), satellite ion engines
- Analytical chemistry (oxidizing agent), protein crystallography
