Here is a brief description of xenon. Xenon is present in the Martian atmosphere to the extent of about 0.08 ppm. Before 1962, it was generally assumed that xenon and other noble gases were unable to form compounds. Among the compounds of xenon now reported are xenon hydrate, sodium perxenate, xenon deuterate, difluoride, tetrafluoride, hexafluoride, and XePtF 6 and XeRhF 6 .
Metallic xenon is produced by applying several hundred kilobars of pressure.
Xenon in a vacuum tube produces a blue glow when excited by an electrical discharge and finds use in strobe lamps. It is an odourless, colourless, inert gas. Here is a brief summary of the isolation of xenon. This would not normally be carried out in the laboratory and xenon is available commercially in cylinders at high pressure.
