As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Xenon. But how do we know how much does a Xe atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Xe, we can open any periodic table and search for Xenon.
In the case of Xenon the answer is 131,29. However there is a lot of funny facts about Xenon that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
