Xenon Specification

The IUPAC name of this chemical is xenon. With the CAS registry number 7440-63-3, it is also named as Xenon, compressed; Xenon, refrigerated liquid (cryogenic liquids). The product categories are inorganics; chemical synthesis; compressed and liquefied gasesmicro / nanoelectronics; electronic chemicals; gases; synthetic reagents. It is colorless gas which can not burn and combustion. Solid Xenon changes from face-centered cubic (FCC) to hexagonal close packed (HCP) crystal phase under pressure and begins to turn metallic at about 140 GPa, with no noticeable volume change in the HCP phase. It is completely metallic at 155 GPa. When metalized, it looks sky blue because an indirect bandgap transition (in the electronic structure) allows it to absorb red light as had been previously calculated. It is also transparent to visible light. The possibility that metallic xenon could react with iron under pressure deep in the earth was considered a possible reason for xenon's rarity in the atmosphere. However, experimental data and calculations have disproved this possibility.

The other characteristics of this product can be summarized as: (1)ACD/LogP: 1.28; (2)# of Rule of 5 Violations: 0; (3)ACD/LogD (pH 5.5): 1.28; (4)ACD/LogD (pH 7.4): 1.28; (5)ACD/BCF (pH 5.5): 5.53; (6)ACD/BCF (pH 7.4): 5.53; (7)Exact Mass: 131.904155; (8)MonoIsotopic Mass: 131.904155; (9)Heavy Atom Count: 1; (10)Covalently-Bonded Unit Count: 1.

Uses of Xenon: It is used in flash lamps and arc lamps, and as a general anesthetic.The first excimer laser design used a xenon dimer molecule (Xe2) as its lasing medium, and the earliest laser designs used xenon flash lamps as pumps. It is also being used to search for hypothetical weakly interacting massive particles and as the propellant for ion thrusters in spacecraft.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
It can be stifling, so people should keep container in a well-ventilated place. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

People can use the following data to convert to the molecule structure. 
1. SMILES: [Xe];
2. InChI: InChI=1/Xe.
