Xenon has been used as a general anesthetic, but it is more expensive than conventional anesthetics. [154] Xenon interacts with many different receptors and ion channels, and like many theoretically multi-modal inhalation anesthetics, these interactions are likely complementary. Xenon is a high-affinity glycine-site NMDA receptor antagonist. [155]
To prevent decomposition, the xenon tetroxide thus formed is quickly cooled into a pale-yellow solid. It explodes above −35.9 °C into xenon and oxygen gas, but is otherwise stable. A number of xenon oxyfluorides are known, including XeOF 2, XeOF 4, XeO 2 F 2, and XeO 3 F 2. XeOF 2 is formed by reacting OF 2 with xenon gas at low temperatures.
A few explanations like how metallic xenon can be detected and for the question Coemgenus (talk · contribs) posed would help strengthen my support, but this is pretty much close to perfection. (If the photo of the colorless gas is kept I'd also like to see a more detailed description on the image page telling us exactly in what state the gas ...
The ball is then backfilled with neon to a pressure similar to one atmosphere. If the radio-frequency power is turned on, if the ball is "struck" or "lit", now, the whole ball will glow a diffuse red. If a little argon is added, the filaments will form. If a very small amount of xenon is added, the "flowers" will bloom at the ends of the filaments.
Xenon difluoride is a powerful fluorinating agent with the chemical formula XeF 2, and one of the most stable xenon compounds. Like most covalent inorganic fluorides it is moisture-sensitive. It decomposes on contact with water vapor, but is otherwise stable in storage. Xenon difluoride is a dense, colourless crystalline solid.
Inhaled xenon gas caused the microglia to revert to a protective state, leading to a decrease in the amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease, reduced inflammation, ...
A xenon arc lamp is a highly specialized type of gas discharge lamp, an electric light that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure. It produces a bright white light to simulate sunlight , with applications in movie projectors in theaters , in searchlights , and for specialized uses in industry and research.
Xenon-135 (135 Xe) is an unstable isotope of xenon with a half-life of about 9.2 hours. 135 Xe is a fission product of uranium and it is the most powerful known neutron -absorbing nuclear poison (2 million barns ; [ 1 ] up to 3 million barns [ 1 ] under reactor conditions [ 2 ] ), with a significant effect on nuclear reactor operation.
