Study Notes
Gases at Room Temperature
- Hydrogen (H): The lightest and most abundant element in the universe, essential for forming water during combustion.
- Nitrogen (N): Makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere; a crucial component for proteins and nucleic acids.
- Fluorine (F): The most reactive and electronegative element; used in toothpaste and Teflon production.
- Xenon (Xe): A noble gas utilized in high-intensity lamps and as a general anesthetic in medical applications.
- Neon (Ne): Commonly found in neon signs; emits a bright red-orange glow when electrified.
- Krypton (Kr): Another noble gas, often used in photography and as a gas-filled element in light bulbs.
- Oxygen (O): Essential for respiration in living organisms; makes up approximately 21% of the atmosphere.
- Helium (He): The second lightest element, non-flammable, often used in balloons and cryogenics.
- Chlorine (Cl): A disinfectant widely used in swimming pools and water treatment; a highly reactive gas.
- Argon (Ar): A noble gas accounting for about 0.93% of the atmosphere; used in welding and lighting applications.
- Radon (Rn): A radioactive noble gas that can accumulate in homes; important to monitor due to health risks.
