Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Xenon (Xe) & Facts, Color, Uses ... 2022

Size of things changes depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion. It's even the case for Xenon. Ok, so what is the coefficient of thermal expansion for an atom of Xe?

Note: Learn more about the coefficient of thermal expansion here.

In the case of Xenon this thermal coefficient is 253 10^-6 K^-1. By the way, did you know there are cool facts about Xenon that most don't know? Check this...
