Element of the day (day 12)
#54) Xe-Xenon
Discovered in 1898 by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers, England.
Unreactive towards most other substances. It does react naturally with fluorine and it can be made to react with other compounds. Used in strobe lights, lasers and has various applications in nuclear energy research, especially radiation detection equipment. Xenon was the fuel used in the ion engine of NASA's Deep Space One probe.
There are no xenon-bearing minerals. It is obtained from liquefying air.
