An endohedral fullerene compound containing a noble gas atom. Noble gases can form endohedral fullerene compounds, in which the noble gas atom is trapped inside a fullerene molecule. In 1993, it was discovered that when C 60, a spherical molecule consisting of 60 carbon atoms, is exposed to noble gases at high pressure, complexes such as He@C
Noble gases can also form endohedral fullerene compounds where the noble gas atom is trapped inside a fullerene molecule. In 1993, it was discovered that when C 60 is exposed to a pressure of around 3 bar of He or Ne, the complexes He@C 60 and Ne@C 60 are formed. [ 36 ]
Krypton is highly volatile and does not stay in solution in near-surface water, but 81 Kr has been used for dating old (50,000–800,000 years) groundwater. [25] 85 Kr is an inert radioactive noble gas with a half-life of 10.76 years.
Neon is the second-lightest noble gas, after helium. Like other noble gases, neon is colorless and odorless. It glows reddish-orange in a vacuum discharge tube. It has over 40 times the refrigerating capacity (per unit volume) of liquid helium and three times that of liquid hydrogen. [3]
Several of the CPK colors refer mnemonically to colors of the pure elements or notable compound. For example, hydrogen is a colorless gas, carbon as charcoal, graphite or coke is black, sulfur powder is yellow, chlorine is a greenish gas, bromine is a dark red liquid, iodine in ether is violet, amorphous phosphorus is red, rust is dark orange-red, etc.
Water molecules are omitted in this diagram The model is defined in terms of a list of those complex species which are present in solutions in significant amounts. In the present context the complex species have the general formula [M p O q (OH) r ] n± . where p, q and r define the stoichiometry of the species and n± gives the electrical ...
This is a list of gases at standard conditions, which means substances that boil or sublime at or below 25 °C (77 °F) and 1 atm pressure and are reasonably stable. List [ edit ]
Liquid xenon has a high polarizability due to its large atomic volume, and thus is an excellent solvent. It can dissolve hydrocarbons, biological molecules, and even water. [54] Under the same conditions, the density of solid xenon, 3.640 g/cm 3, is greater than the average density of granite, 2.75 g/cm 3. [53]
