The first chemical compound containing a noble, or supposedly inert, gas was achieved in 1962. The chemistry of this rapidly growing class of compounds promises to shed light on the nature of the ...

The hot metal wires will burn away if any oxygen from air is present in the lamp. Argon, krypton and xenon are very unreactive. They replace the air inside the lamp, preventing the metal wire from ...

The actual boiling point of radon is -61.7˚C. An estimate would lie midway between -100˚C and -50˚C based on the shape of the graph.

A milestone in chemistry was achieved through the use of fluorine: the discovery of the reactivity of noble gases — when xenon fluoride was prepared by Neil Bartlett in 1962 — which challenged ...

Solid Noble Gases The simplest systems available for the study of a wide range of solid-state phenomena may be the crystal structures that are formed at very low temperatures by noble-gas atoms By ...

NASA's DAVINCI probe will be first in 21st century to brave Venus’ atmosphere as it descends from above the planet down to its surface.
