Uses and Properties:

• In a gas filled tube xenon emits blue light when excited by electrical discharge.

• Xenon has relatively little commercial use. It is used in photographic flash lamps, stroboscopic lamps, high-intensitive arc-lamps for motion picture projection and high-pressure arc lamps to product ultraviolet light (solar simulators).

• this element is a gas primarily used in light manufacturing. 

• Xenon is one of the inert or noble gases and is odorless, colorless, tasteless and chemically non-reactive.

• While not toxic on its own, its compounds are strong oxidizing agents that are highly toxic
