Xenon, depicted as option 3, is also commonly referred to as the "Stranger Gas." This nickname comes from the Greek word `Xenos,` which translates to `stranger.` Xenon is a noble gas that is odorless, colorless, heavy, and unreactive under normal circumstances.
Options 1 and 2, Argon and Neon, are both noble gases as well but are not referred to as the "Stranger Gas." Argon is the third-most abundant gas in the Earth`s atmosphere while Neon is the fifth most abundant.
Option 4, Nitrous Oxide, is not a noble gas and isn`t referred to as the `Stranger Gas` either. Nitrous Oxide is a chemical compound used in surgery and dentistry for its anesthetic and pain reducing effects. It`s also used in engines to increase their power output.
Overall, all the options are gaseous substances with different characteristics and uses, but only Xenon carries the name "Stranger Gas".
