Xenon

Short post today!! Check out the new tab at the top of my blog called "Science Resources." There are a mix of new sources, blogs, and books all related to science  that you can surf, so explore! Be sure to check in on the tab because it is a work in progress, so I'm sure it will get changed or have resources added to it. I will also be putting up a similar tab soon for education, but it's still in the making.

If you have suggestions regarding either resource, I would love your input!


Fun Fact: Nobel gases are usually inert (do not react with other elements), but xenon is an exception. While xenon prefers to not react with other elements, it will react with fluorine to form xenon difluoride. This compound can be used in organic synthesis or etching but decomposes when it comes into contact with light or water vapor.
