The ratio of xenon-136 to xenon-135 (or its decay products) can give hints as to the power history of a given reactor and the absence of xenon-136 is a "fingerprint" for nuclear explosions, as xenon-135 is not produced directly but as a product of successive beta decays and thus it cannot absorb any neutrons in a nuclear explosion which occurs ...
Xenon compounds are compounds containing the element xenon (Xe). After Neil Bartlett's discovery in 1962 that xenon can form chemical compounds, a large number of xenon compounds have been discovered and described. Almost all known xenon compounds contain the electronegative atoms fluorine or oxygen.
Xenonite, created by the alien Eridians, is a metal with varying types. Made primarily of the noble gas xenon, it can be used for building, engineering, and much more. It has virtually unlimited tensile strength; a wide variety of colors, including transparent and tan; and even different textures.
Organoxenon chemistry is the study of the properties of organoxenon compounds, which contain carbon to xenon chemical bonds. The first organoxenon compounds were divalent, such as (C 6 F 5 ) 2 Xe. The first tetravalent organoxenon compound, [C 6 F 5 XeF 2 ][BF 4 ], was synthesized in 2004. [ 1 ]
Nonetheless, this was the first real compound of any noble gas. The first binary noble gas compounds were reported later in 1962. Bartlett synthesized xenon tetrafluoride (XeF 4) by subjecting a mixture of xenon and fluorine to high temperature. [9] Rudolf Hoppe, among other groups, synthesized xenon difluoride (XeF 2) by the reaction of the ...

The xenonium ion, XeH +, is an onium compound, consisting of protonated xenon. Although the existence of the xenonium salts has not been proven, the isolated XeH + ion is known. [2] Salts of the fluoroxenonium ion, XeF +, are known to exist, for instance fluoroxenonium pentafluoroplatinate (XeFPtF 5), more commonly known as xenon ...
A plasma ball with filaments extending between the inner and outer spheres. A plasma ball, plasma globe, or plasma lamp is a clear glass container filled with noble gases, usually a mixture of neon, krypton, and xenon, that has a high-voltage electrode in the center of the container.
