Q & A

What are noble gases?

Noble gases are elements found in group 8A of the periodic table, known for being stable and existing as gases at room temperature.

Why are noble gases called 'noble'?

They are called 'noble' due to their high stability and low reactivity with other elements, previously referred to as 'inert' gases.

Who first synthesized a compound of a noble gas?

Niels Bartlett first synthesized a noble gas compound in 1962 by reacting xenon with PtF6.

Which noble gases are naturally occurring?

The naturally occurring noble gases include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.

What causes the stability of noble gases?

Their stability is primarily due to their electron configuration, which is either a full outer shell (octet) or a stable duet for helium.

What is the trend in density among noble gases?

The density of noble gases increases from helium to radon.

How does ionization energy change among noble gases?

The ionization energy decreases from helium to radon.

What are some applications of noble gases?

Noble gases are used in various applications: helium in balloons, neon in signage, argon in light bulbs, krypton in photography, and xenon in anesthesia.

What unique properties does radon have?

Radon is radioactive with a short half-life and is used in cancer radiotherapy.

What is the significance of argon's reactivity?

Argon is non-reactive and is used to protect filaments in light bulbs and in metal welding atmospheres.
