No, krypton is normally not radioactive. Almost 60% of krypton is composed of krypton-84.
yes! it is is a radioactive inert gas =)
Krypton is a gas, one of the noble or intert gases.
There are two problems with this question, one is that inert gas is more than one substance and the second is that so is air. Air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon and other gases. The best way to determine its mass is to take an average between these components. Next, what's an inert gas? Strictly speaking, the inert gases are the noble gases, which are the elements in group 0 of the periodic table. They are helium, neon, krypton, radon, xenon and argon. Hang on..., isn't argon in air? Helium is the lightest inert gas and as anyone who has seen a helium balloon can testify, it is lighter than air. The further down group 0 you go, towards the likes of xenon and radon, the heavier they get. From krypton onwards, they are all heavier than air except.... ... except that all of the noble gases, or the inert gases, can be found in air, in very small amounts. So in a weird way, if you're asking if inert gases are heavier than air, you're asking if they're heavier than themselves. But to put it in the simplest terms, there is more than one inert gas. Helium can be considered an example of an inert gas that is lighter than air, whereas xenon can be considered an example of one that is heavier.
Helium
Although it is a colourless gas, when electric current is passed throught krypton, it glows brilliantly white, a property which is used in photography flash bulbs. This is caused by the electricity exciting the atoms in the krypton, causing them to emit light energy. Any krypton atoms on Earth today have been in that same form, unchanged, since the formation of the Earth. A colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, krypton occurs in trace amounts in the atmosphere. It is isolated by fractionally distilling liquified air, and is often used with other rare gases in fluorescent lamps. <plagiarized word-for-word from Wikipedia> Like most of the other rare gases, the main commercial use of Krypton is in a variety of light bulb applications including fluorescent, incandescent, gas discharge, gas glow, flash tube and laser lamps. Its bright and nearly white light output in high temperature plasma makes it valuable for p The planet Mars, consists of some Krypton. While Krypton is present Earth's air at about 1 ppm, or 1 part per million (value of 1 × 10-6 or .000001%), Mars contains about 0.3 ppm in its air hotography and "neon" sign applications.
The answer is Krypton.It comes from the Greek work kryptos (hidden)
Krypton is an inert gas, which does not engage in chemical reactions; it is also one of the heavier inert (or noble) gases. Other than that, it is colorless, odorless, and very inconspicuous. It was actually quite hard for chemists even to find it, hence the name krypton, meaning hidden.
NO. Krypton is one of the inert gases. It has a melting point of 115.79 K, -157.36 °C
Krypton is a gas, one of the noble or intert gases.
Krypton is an element, and all elements are the result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion or radioactive decay. Krypton is one of the byproducts of the nuclear fission of Uranium and Plutonium, either from atomic bombs or nuclear reactors. Since Krypton is not one of the results of a natural radioactive decay chain, the only other possible source of Krypton is from nuclear fusion, and the only source of fusion powerful enough to produce it would be a supernova.
a inert gas is one that doesnt respond
The "inert" or "noble" gasses are called that because they do not participate in any chemical reactions. They are: Helium, neon, argon, krypton,. xenon, and radon. (Xenon has been known to form compounds with other elements, but only at exceptionally low temperatures.) They are in Column 18 of the WebElements periodic table.
No. Krypton is one of the noble/inert gases, so it does not react with any other element (the exception to that rule is Xenon, which can form a compound with Fluorine, but this is irrelevant).
A colorless element that is one of the six inert gasses; occurs in trace amounts in air
Krypton is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, inert gas, and considered to be non-toxic. Although it is extremely unreactive krypton can react with fluorine, and a few compounds of the element have been prepared, including krypton (II) fluoride and krypton clathrates. Krypton is characterized by several sharp emission lines (spectral signatures) the strongest being green and yellow. It is one of the products of uranium fission. Solidified krypton is white and crystalline with a face-centered cubic crystal structure, which is a common property of all noble gases.

Tritium and radon are radioactive gases.
Argon is one of them
