In which language does Xenon's name originate?
Roman
Greek
Egyptian
Persian
Answer
Xenon's name comes from the Greek word Ξένον (Xénon), which means "stranger" or "foreigner". This is likely due to the fact that xenon was the last noble gas to be discovered, and it was not known to exist on Earth until it was artificially created in a laboratory in 1932.
