how is it produced?
By fractional distillation
Xenon
Xenon is obtained commercially as a by-product of the separation of air into oxygen and nitrogen. After this separation, generally performed by fractional distillation in a double-column plant, the liquid oxygen produced will contain small quantities of krypton and xenon. By additional fractional distillation, the liquid oxygen may be enriched to contain 0.1–0.2% of a krypton/xenon mixture, which is extracted either by absorption onto silica gel or by distillation. Finally, the krypton/xenon mixture may be separated into krypton and xenon by further distillation.
why does xenon have a high boiling point UNANSWERABLE what kind of a substance is it? It is a colorless, dense, odorless noble gas found in Earth's atmosphere in trace amounts. by whom was it discovered? William Ramsay, Morris Travers where does it occur? In Earth's atmosphere

Xenon [SEP] Occurrence and production
Xenon is a trace gas in Earth's atmosphere, occurring at (parts per billion), or approximately 1 part per 11.5 million. It is also found as a component of gases emitted from some mineral springs. Xenon is obtained commercially as a by-product of the separation of air into oxygen and nitrogen. After this separation, generally performed by fractional distillation in a double-column plant, the liquid oxygen produced will contain small quantities of krypton and xenon. By additional fractional distillation, the liquid oxygen may be enriched to contain 0.1–0.2% of a krypton/xenon mixture, which is extracted either by absorption onto silica gel or by distillation.
