In the periodic table of chemical elements, xenon is located in the last group, almost at the bottom. Like its buddy neon, the heavier xenon is also part of the noble gases bunch, chemical activity of which is very low due to the lack of free electrons in the outer electron layer. To provide a simpler example, the noble gases can be compared with a lazy well-fed cat who doesn’t want to take anything but also has nothing to give. Nevertheless, externally, xenon looks like a colorless, odorless gas, to demonstrate the properties of which I bought a special vial of xenon, wherein the gas is stored at reduced pressure, so that it is easier to conduct some demonstrations with it. Like the other noble gases, while passing a high voltage through xenon, it glows with a
