Question

Is xenon poisonous?

Answer 1

Xenon: Xenon$\left(\mathbf{Xe}\right)$ is a noble gas found in the 18^th group of the periodic table. Xenon is not poisonous because of the following reason-

1. Xenon is a non-toxic agent.
2. Xenon is a noble gas hence it reacts only under specific conditions.
3. Xenon itself is nontoxic but the compound which is formed by xenon is toxic.
4. Xenon-133 is a radioisotope used as an imaging agent.
5. A biological function for xenon is unknown so we can say that xenon is a non-toxic gas. but this is not true for the xenon compound.

Hence, Xenon is not poisonous.
