Answer:
Xenon is known as stranger gas.
Explanation:
Xenon is an element, whose name is derived from the word "Xenos". Xenos means strange or foreign. Xenon belongs to the noble gas group. Noble gases show no or least reactivity since the octets are filled. However, Xenon reacts with some elements to form a few compounds. Thus it gets the name stranger gas. It reacts with Oxygen and Fluorine under certain conditions. Neil Bartlett showed that Xenon could react with fluorine to form compounds and proved that it's not an inert gas.
