The gas that is normally used is argon, or a mixture of argon and nitrogen.
A gas is needed that
• helps prevent the evaporation of white-hot tungsten
• does not react with white-hot tungsten
• will not form an electric arc inside the bulb
Argon is the cheapest of the noble gases because it forms nearly 1% of the atmosphere, and is a major by-product in the production of liquid nitrogen.

What is element is used in light bulbs as a filament?
Usually tungsten.
Element found in cheap light bulbs?
Tungsten is a common element found in cheap light bulbs as it is used to create the filament that gives off light when heated.
What element is used for a filament for light bulbs?
Tungsten is typically used as the filament in incandescent light bulbs because of its high melting point and ability to emit light efficiently when heated by an electric current.
What element is used as the gas in domestic light bulbs?
carbon
What element do you find in light bulbs?
Light bulbs contain a filament, typically made of tungsten, which produces light when electricity passes through it and heats up. This process causes the filament to emit light and illuminate the surroundings.
What metallic element is in light bulbs?
The metallic element in light bulbs is tungsten. Tungsten is used in the filament of incandescent light bulbs, as it has a high melting point and can withstand the high temperatures generated when electricity passes through it, producing light.
What makes up the filament of light bulbs?
Filament of light bulbs are made up of Tungsten.
Which element is in light bulbs as a filament?
Tungsten (W) or wolfram, doped frequently with thorium oxide.
What element is used in the filaments of househole light bulbs?
