xenon
Arc lamp gas
Xenon is a chemical element, a colorless, odorless gas belonging to the noble gases.
It occurs in trace amounts in Earth's atmosphere and is used in specialized lighting—xenon arc lamps produce intense white light for film projectors, car headlights, and searchlights.
In medicine, xenon serves as an anesthetic.
Symbol: Xe.
