Why is Xenon called stranger gas?

Answer: Xenon is derived from the Greek word ” Xenos,” which means foreign or strange. Xenon belongs to a noble gas group where elements are very unreactive. But Xenon reacts with some elements to form new compounds.

This unique property of Xenon makes it peculiar, which is why it behaves differently.

Hence, this is the reason why it is known as stranger gas.

Xenon is 4.5times heavier than air. It is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas. Its atomic number is 54. Xenon is a trace gas. It is a component in gases released from a few mineral springs. Xenon is released as a by-product when the air is separated into nitrogen and oxygen. It is available in all forms that are solid, liquid, and gas.
