Because of its scarcity, xenon is much more expensive than the lighter noble gases—approximate prices for the purchase of small quantities in Europe in 1999 were 10 €/L (=~€1.7/g) for xenon, 1 €/L (=~€0.27/g) for krypton, and 0.20 €/L (=~€0.22/g) for neon, [67] while the much more plentiful argon, which makes up over 1% by volume ...
Krypton (from Ancient Greek: κρυπτός, romanized: kryptos 'the hidden one') is a chemical element; it has symbol Kr and atomic number 36. It is a colorless, odorless noble gas that occurs in trace amounts in the atmosphere and is often used with other rare gases in fluorescent lamps .
Predictions from reliable sources have been used for these elements. ... Kr, 36, krypton : ... 54, xenon : 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4s 2 3d 10 4p 6 5s 2 4d 10 5p 6 Rn ...

The noble gases up to xenon have multiple stable isotopes; krypton and xenon also have naturally occurring radioisotopes, namely 78 Kr, 124 Xe, and 136 Xe, all have very long lives (> 10 21 years) and can undergo double electron capture or double beta decay.
Recently, [when?] xenon has been shown to produce a wide variety of compounds of the type XeO n X 2 where n is 1, 2 or 3 and X is any electronegative group, such as CF 3, C(SO 2 CF 3) 3, N(SO 2 F) 2, N(SO 2 CF 3) 2, OTeF 5, O(IO 2 F 2), etc.; the range of compounds is impressive, similar to that seen with the neighbouring element iodine ...
Here [Ne] refers to the core electrons which are the same as for the element neon (Ne), the last noble gas before phosphorus in the periodic table. The valence electrons (here 3s 2 3p 3) are written explicitly for all atoms. Electron configurations of elements beyond hassium (element 108) have never been measured; predictions are used below.
