Interpretation:
Whether xenon is a metal, non-metal or a metalloid needs to be determined. Also, its position in the periodic table needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In the periodic table, metals are present in extreme left and non-metals are present in right. s-block of the periodic table contains metals and p-block contains non-metals and metalloids.

Answer to Problem 13SSC
Xenon is a non-metal present in group 18 and 5th period of the periodic table.
Explanation of Solution
Given that xenon is a non-reactive gas and poor conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are generally conductor of heat and electricity. So, xenon is a non-metal. The group 18 elements of the periodic table are non-reactive due to their completely filled valence shell. So, Xenon is one of the elements of group 18. It is present in 5th period and group 18 of the periodic table.
The s-block consist of metals, p-block consists of non-metals, d-block consists
