Xenon produces a beautiful blue glow when excited by an electrical discharge. Xenon lamps have applications as high-speed electronic flash bulbs used by photographers, sunbed lamps and bactericidal lamps used in food preparation and processing. Xenon lamps are also used in ruby lasers. Xenon difluoride is used to etch silicon microprocessors. Xenon ion propulsion systems are used by satellites.
Xenon is used in Electron tubes, bactericidal lamps, strobe lamps, xenon lamps for surgery, and vehicle headlights (more so in planes and boats).
Xenon is a trace gas. Air is about .08 parts per million of Xenon. (For every million grams of air, there are .08 grams of xenon)
textiles and photography --------- Xenon applications are: - filling gas for many types of lamps - lasers - anaesthesia - propellant for ion propulsion spacecrafts - in radioisotope imaging - in nuclear magnetic resonance - studies in chemistry of noble gases etc. Krypton application are: - filling gas for many types of lamps - lasers - magnetic resonance imaging - computer tomography - special calorimeters
XE is the symbol for xenon on the periodic table. Atomic # 54.
Xenon is an anaesthetic gas but otherwise is harmless.
Xenon is used in Electron tubes, bactericidal lamps, strobe lamps, xenon lamps for surgery, and vehicle headlights (more so in planes and boats).
Xenon is a colorless, odorless noble gas with the atomic number 54. It has a variety of applications, including in lighting, anesthesia, and electronics. Common compounds of xenon include xenon hexafluoride (XeF6) and xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4), which are used in chemical reactions and synthesis processes.
Xenon does not readily form an ion.

Xenon is a noble/inert gas. The fact that it is named 'inert' means it does not form compounds with other atoms. However, under very complex electron lab. conditions it can be forced to combine with halogens.
I don't know ask someone else !
Xenon itself is not radioactive. However, certain isotopes of xenon can be radioactive, such as xenon-133, which is a common fission product of nuclear reactors.
The most common anion formed by xenon is XeF4, where xenon has a formal charge of -2.
One industry that uses xenon is the communication satellite industry. Many dozens of these satellites use xenon for their station keeping electric propulsion systems. Both Ion and Hall electric thrusters can run on xenon.
