Xenon

__ Xenon: By Jordan and Killian __

//**History of Xenon **//

Xenon was discovered by William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers in 1898 at England. They found this element when they were evaporating liquid air components. They had to work with huge volumes of to produce only a small amount of xenon since it turned out that xenon is only present to the extent of 0.087 ppm in the huge atmosphere. They named this element xenon because it is so hard to find it. Xenon is a Greek word for stranger. Xenon is also made in different forms, but it is very confusing that's why its not on here.

//** Interesting Facts **// Xenon is used in electron tubes. Xenon is rarely found when evaporating liquid. Xenon is colorless and odorless. Xenon weighs 5.812 grams for 1 liter. Xenon is obtained from liquid air Xenon is actually one of the most heavyset gasses of all. Xenon was found the same way krypton and neon was. 2 of the compounds are xenon hydrate and highly explosive xenon trioxide. Did you know that xenon is a very very small trace gas. It is 11 dollars for 1 liter of Xenon. Xenon is also used for nuclear energy. Xenon is also used for part of the phone to help light up the screen. In almost every single language xenon is called Xenon like Dutch and Spanish its still xenon. Xenon is almost used for every single type of light bulb. Demitri Mendeleev was the inventor of the periodic table. Neon lights are partly filled with Xenon to help make it glow. Xenon is only 1 out of 20 million obtained from liquid air.

Xenon is used for many things like light bulbs and photographic flashes things like that. Xenon can be used for so many different light bulbs like car lights, strobe lights, and cameras. It is also used for things that I don’t know what it is like electron tubes and laser pumping lamps. Xenon is also used for the lights on a plane.
