Xenon (Xe)
DESCRIPTION (Xenon):
Xenon isa a non-toxic, colorless and odorless gas. It is a member of the zero-valence elements that are called nobel or inert gases. It is inert to most common chemical reactions. Xenon is primarily used in applications such as excimer laser systems, lighting, ion (plasma) drive engines, and medical MRI systems.
