In 1917, Rutherford discovered something new, he bombarded alpha particles on nitrogen gas and noticed that occasionally an oxygen atom is produced. From this he concluded that the alpha particles removes proton from the nucleus (positively charged particle). He named this playing with marbles and he become the first one to split an atom. Thus, by bombarding nitrogen with alpha particles, he observed the production of oxygen, a different element.

Therefore, he said bombarding atoms with particles is similar to playing with marbles.

The symbol for xenon (Xe) would be a part of the noble gas notation for the element antimony. cesium. radium. uranium.
nlexa [21]
The noble gas notation is the short or abbreviated form of the electron configuration.

It means that you use the symbol of the previous noble gas as part of the electron configuration of an element.

The gas noble previous to antimony is Kr, so you do not use Xe to write the electron configuration of Sb.

The gas noble previous to radium is Rn, so you do not use Xe to wirte the electron configuration of Ra.

The gas noble previous to uranium is Rn, so you do  not use Xe to write the electron configuration of U.

The gas noble previous to cesium is Xe, so you use Xe to write the noble notation for Sb. This is it: Cs: [Xe] 6s.

Answer: cesium
