In xenon: Properties of the element
For example, xenon-135 (9.2-hour half-life) is produced by uranium fission in nuclear reactors, where it is troublesome because it absorbs fission-producing neutrons. Xenon-129 is of particular importance because this isotope can be observed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which makes it useful for the structural characterization of…
