Answer 1

The gas xenon, being a noble gas, is composed of individual atoms rather than ions or molecules. Therefore, the best option that describes xenon in the beaker is:

**B: atoms of xenon**

Xenon exists as single atoms in its gaseous state, unlike compounds or molecules which consist of more than one element or atom.
