from the element radium
Radon does not have a specific Greek or Latin name. The name "radon" itself comes from the element's radioactive properties and was named after the element radium from which it is derived.
The Latin name for Radon is "Radium emanation" and its chemical symbol is "Rn".
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.
The name radon is derived from the Latin language word radius= radiation; the suffix on is typical for the noble gases (excepting helium).
it belongs to the group known as the noble gases

It is Eka-Radon
The name radon is derived from the Latin language word radius= radiation; the suffix on is typical for the noble gases (excepting helium).
it belongs to the group known as the noble gases
One example of a gas that starts with the letter "R" is radon. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that can be harmful if inhaled in high concentrations.
The name niton was officially changed to radon in 1923. It was done to follow the naming convention for other elements and avoid confusion due to its similarity to the name of the noble gas neon.
