What is Xenon Gas?
Xenon (Xe) is a noble gas with atomic number 54, part of Group 18 on the periodic table. Discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris Travers, xenon is a rare atmospheric component, constituting just 0.087 parts per million (ppm) in Earth’s air. It is extracted commercially through fractional distillation of liquefied air.
Xenon is chemically inert, odorless, and colorless, prized for its unique properties in high-performance applications such as lighting, medical imaging, and aerospace propulsion.
What are the critical physical characteristics of xenon gas?
Atomic Weight: 131.29 g/mol
Density: 5.894 g/L at 0°C and 1 atm
Melting Point: -111.8°C (-169.2°F)
