This causes the fluorine gas to split into its radicals, which then can react with the solid krypton. Under ideal conditions, it has been known to reach a maximum yield of 6 g/h. In order to achieve optimal yields the gap between the wire and the solid krypton should be 1 cm, giving rise to a temperature gradient of about 900 °C/cm.
Its lighter neighbor, krypton also forms well-characterized compounds, e.g., krypton difluoride. Krypton tetrafluoride was reported in 1963, [104] but was subsequently shown to be a mistaken identification; the compound seems to be very hard to synthesize now (although even the hexafluoride may exist). [105]
Among other noble gases, krypton forms a difluoride, [150] and radon and fluorine generate a solid suspected to be radon difluoride. [151] [152] Binary fluorides of lighter noble gases are exceptionally unstable: argon and hydrogen fluoride combine under extreme conditions to give argon fluorohydride. [41]
Krypton is less reactive than xenon, but several compounds have been reported with krypton in the oxidation state of +2. [40] Krypton difluoride is the most notable and easily characterized. Under extreme conditions, krypton reacts with fluorine to form KrF 2 according to the following equation:
Solid argon-hydrogen clathrate (Ar(H 2) 2) has the same crystal structure as the MgZn 2 Laves phase. It forms at pressures between 4.3 and 220 GPa, though Raman measurements suggest that the H 2 molecules in Ar(H 2) 2 dissociate above 175 GPa. A similar Kr(H 2) 4 solid forms at pressures above 5 GPa. It has a face-centered cubic structure where ...
This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately. Blue type items have an article available by ...
Calcium difluoride is a notable compound. In the form of the mineral fluorite it is the major source of commercial fluorine. It also has an eponymic crystal structure, which is an end member of the spectrum starting from bixbyite and progressing through pyrochlore .
He also predicted the existence of krypton hexafluoride. [3] [verification needed] [4] Calculations suggest it would have octahedral molecular geometry. [1] So far, out of all possible krypton fluorides, only krypton difluoride (KrF 2) has actually been synthesized. [citation needed]
