What is Krypton Gas?
Krypton (Kr) is a noble gas with atomic number 36, part of the periodic table’s Group 18. Discovered in 1898 by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers, krypton is a trace component of Earth’s atmosphere, constituting just 1 part per million (ppm). It is obtained commercially through fractional distillation of liquefied air.
Krypton is chemically inert, non-toxic, and colorless, making it ideal for specialized applications where stability and minimal reactivity are critical.
What are the key physical properties of krypton gas?
Atomic Weight: 83.798 g/mol
Density: 3.749 g/L at 0°C and 1 atm
Melting Point: -157.4°C (-251.3°F)
Boiling Point: -153.4°C (-244.1°F)
Triple Point: -169°C (82 kPa)
