P5+-+Noble+Gasses

= = The Noble Gases

The Noble Gases are made up of six elements... ~Helium ~Neon ~Argon ~Krypton ~Radon ~Xenon FUN FACT: All the Noble Gases were thought to be inert gases until the 1960's.

FUN FACT: Noble gases are used in decorative lighting such as neon lights.

FUN FACT: Helium is one seventh the density of air and is used in balloons to make them float. INFORMATION: Noble gases are located in the Periodic Table on the far right, in group 18 and periods 2-6. The noble gases are gases that take the form of things such as the air in balloons. Three chemical properties of Noble gases are Krypton reacts with fluorine to create a colorless solid, Xenon forms a large range of compounds with oxygen and fluorine, and electricity can be conducted through some elements such as Neon. Three physical properties of Noble gases are that they glow, they have a very low boiling point, and some of them such as Helium are non-flammable. A few common uses of Noble Gases are Helium is used with oxygen in order for divers to breathe deep under water and Helium is also used to inflate the tires of large aircrafts.
