The first chemical compound containing a noble, or supposedly inert, gas was achieved in 1962. The chemistry of this rapidly growing class of compounds promises to shed light on the nature of the ...

EDF said there was a build up of noble gases in part of the cooling system of the plant's number one reactor. The gases were collected and treated before being released into the atmosphere in ...

Reactivity decreases down the group. Group 0 - the noble gases - Edexcel The group 0 elements, the noble gases, are all unreactive non-metal gases. They show trends in their physical properties.

A milestone in chemistry was achieved through the use of fluorine: the discovery of the reactivity of noble gases — when xenon fluoride was prepared by Neil Bartlett in 1962 — which challenged ...

Like all noble gases, xenon is colourless, odourless and inflammable — but it is also more reactive, and much rarer, than its lighter relatives. Ivan Dmochowski ponders how xenon, though ...
