Krypton Isotopes – Krypton was discovered in 1898 by Sir William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers. Its name is derived from the Greek kryptos, which means “hidden”.
Krypton is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It liquefies at -153.22 º C and solidifies at 157.36 º C into a white crystalline substance with a face-centered cubic structure. it
Slightly soluble in water.
Krypton is a noble gas element. Its closed shell, stable octet electron configuration allows zero reaction with almost anything. Only a few types of compounds have been synthesized
Compounds, complexes and clathrates, mainly with fluorine, an electronegative element.
Krypton has fewer commercial applications than helium or argon. Its main use is in fluorescent lamps. It is mixed with argon as a fill gas to increase the brightness of fluorescent tubes. other applications
Use includes flash tubes and incandescent bulbs for high-speed photography. Radioactive krypton- 85 was used as a tracer to monitor surface reactions. The unit of length “meter” used to be based on the orange of Krypton 86
Defined by the red spectral lines.
