What is radon's alchemy symbol?
No alchemic symbol for radon; radon was discovered around 1900.
Is radon gas testing as important as they say?
Radon is a naturally occurring gas which in high concentrations can be extremely hazardous. So it it better to do the testing if you suspect the presence.
What date was radon discovered not year?
May 30
What year was radon discovered?
in 1899 by Pierre and Marie curie
Where was radon discovered?
Radon was discovered by Friedrich Ernst Dorn, a German chemist, in 1900 while studying radium's decay chain
Was Mendeleev alive when Radon was discovered?
Yes, Dimitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) was alive during the discovery of radon (1899-1903).
Heaviest of the noble gases?
Radon is the heaviest of the inert gases. The inert gases are also known as the noble gases and are the lightest elements.
Who invented of radon?
Radon was first discovered by Pierre and Marie Curie in 1899 in France. A year later Friedrich Dorn discovered it.
Is home radon abatement a specialized field?
Yes, home radon abatement is a specialized field, called "Health Physics". The main job of this Health Physicist is to protect you and your home from the potentially hazardous radon, as well as manage the good things about the use of ionizing radiation.
Who discovered radon and polonium?
Polonium: Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898 For radon see the link: http://www.vanderkrogt.net/elements/element.php?sym=Rn.
Where did the radon abbreviation come from?
Radon was discovered by Friedrich Ernst Dorn in 1898. There were several proposed names but finally in 1920 it came to be known as radon.
Elements in group 18 are very nonreactive .They are said to be inert.We call these the?
The Inert or "Noble" gasses. Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon are the inert gasses. The "inert" gas Radon is chemically inert, but is radioactive. Radon has a half-life of four days. Because of its radioactivity, radon is hazardous when concentrated. Where the soil contains trace amounts of radium, thorium and uranium, basements may tend to harbor unsafe concentrations of Radon gas; the radioactivity being breathed into the lungs increased the risk of lung cancer. Inexpensive radon detectors can let you know if your basement gathers radon. If so, a ventilation fan to prevent the heavy radon from accumulating might be advisable.
