Inert Gas xenon is present in atmosphere, but unfortunately in a very low concentrations. It is possible to say that average room have few cubic centimetres of this gas. This gas was discovered by studying of evaporation of liquid gases carried by William Ramsay and Morris Travers. After evaporation of liquid atmospheric gas, which contains helium, hydrogen, neon, oxygen, nitrogen and argon a very small amount of liquid remaining was left in cry vessel. This liquid was krypton gas, but after evaporation a very tiny amount of other gas was left. This gas was named as xenon from a Greek word meaning "strange one" or "stranger". This gas emitted very unusual white light with full spectrum, from orange to violet. This light emittance activated by electrical discharge can be explained by very big electron cloud of xenon, which contains 54 electrons.
