Krypton: Chemical Elements Of The Periodic Table
Although when you first hear the word Krypton you just might automatically think of the planet in the Superman comics. Krypton is a chemical element of the periodic table. The periodic table has about one hundred and eighteen elements. Krypton is number thirty six in the periodic table it is in group eighteen period four. It is a part of the noble gas series. Its atomic number is thirty six and its atomic mass is eighty three point seven nine eight. It has forty eight neutrons in its most sufficient isotope that are in four different electron shells. It was discovered by Chemist Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in the year eighteen ninety eight. It was found in London when Sir William Ramsay made a statement that there had to be more elements because there was a gap in the Periodic Table of Elements that are like Krypton in being noble gasses helium and argon. Knowing this he was determined to find the elements that where needed to fill the gap so he did a little research. He collected information about how one element could possibly hide another element. So he thought maybe there is a new element hiding in his previously discovered element Argon. Argon is also in group eighteen on the periodic table which is in the noble gas series like Krypton. They then proceeded to extract a large amount of argon from the air then they liquefied it then
