And xenon.

Come on, Xenon.

Good evening, Xenon.

It's very nice, Xenon.

Do you hear that, Xenon?

A by product of nuclear weapon testing is the release of radioactive xenon 133 and xenon 135.

I've brought a present for Xenon.

We share each other's sorrow, Prince Xenon.

Naturally occurring xenon consists of eight stable isotopes.

Xenon, it is time for you to go to bed.

This led him to the invention of the xenon flash lamp, in which light is generated by sending a brief electrical current through a tube filled with xenon gas.

This entity is formed because the xenon atom tends to fill its outermost electronic shell, and can briefly do this by adding an electron from a neighboring xenon atom.

The principal materials released were isotopes of xenon, iodine, caesium and polonium.

The first solid state laser, invented in 1960, was pumped by a xenon flash lamp, and lasers used to power inertial confinement fusion are also pumped by xenon flash lamps.

Although it is expensive, anesthesia machines that can deliver xenon are about to appear on the European market, because advances in recovery and recycling of xenon have made it economically viable.

As xenon is expensive, the gas sulfur hexafluoride, which is similar to xenon in molecular weight (146 versus 131), is generally used in this stunt, and is an asphyxiant without being anesthetic.

At 169 m s, the speed of sound in xenon gas is slower than that in air due to the slower average speed of the heavy xenon atoms compared to nitrogen and oxygen molecules.

Xenon is rarely used in large enough quantities for this to be a concern, though the potential for danger exists any time a tank or container of xenon is kept in an unventilated space.

So you have what's called the xenon pit, and so some of these fission products love neutrons.

Xenon vented into the atmosphere is being returned to its original source, so no environmental impact is likely.

Unlike nitrous oxide (N2O), xenon is not a greenhouse gas and so it is also viewed as environmentally friendly.

When xenon atoms becomes energized, however, they can form an excimer (excited dimer) until the electrons return to the ground state.

The individual cells in a plasma display use a mixture of xenon and neon that is converted into a plasma using electrodes.

Xenon has a minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of 72 at age 40, making it 44 more potent than N2O as an anesthetic.

Even though xenon really wants to keep his electrons he's a little bit more willing to give them away than neon is.

It is possible to safely breathe dense gases such as xenon or sulfur hexafluoride when they are in a mixture of at least 20 oxygen.

Using this technique, chemical reactions on the fullerene molecule can be analyzed, due to the sensitivity of the chemical shift of the xenon atom to its environment.

Lasers In 1962, a group of researchers at Bell Laboratories discovered laser action in xenon, and later found that the laser gain was improved by adding helium to the lasing medium.

Under adverse conditions, relatively high concentrations of radioactive xenon isotopes may be found emanating from nuclear reactors due to the release of fission products from cracked fuel rods, or fissioning of uranium in cooling water.

The remaining 93 is kinetic energy (or energy of motion) of the charged fission fragments, flying away from each other mutually repelled by the positive charge of their protons (38 for strontium, 54 for xenon).
