  4. Slide 4: Science Interactive LTD Copyright 2005 Physical properties of the Noble gases one Group VIII of the periodic table contains a family of very stable non-metals known as the Noble gases. This group contains h________, neon, argon and krypton. They are all monatomic colourless gases. All but helium are found in low quantities in our atmosphere. Helium is found trapped under the bedrock along with deposits of n_________ gas. Helium is so light that the Earth’s gravity is not strong enough to keep it in our atmosphere. Eventually we will run out of helium as it escapes the Earth’s gravitational pull. Give two uses helium and neon ?

They all outer shell. They are all colourless monatomic gases therefore have a full outer shell. This is which do not form ionic or covalent compounds with what makes them very stable monatomic any other elements. They also have extremely low gases. melting and boiling points.

Slide 5: Science Interactive LTD Copyright 2005 Physical properties of the Noble gases two The group VIII elements, the Noble gases are all colourless gases unable to form ionic and c_______ compounds with other elements. They have similar physical and chemical properties. They are all monatomic gases. They have extremely low melting and boiling points which increase slightly as you descend the group. Although they are very s______ they do have many important uses. Why is helium used in airships rather than hydrogen which provides more lift ?

  6. Slide 6: Science Interactive LTD Copyright 2005 The discovery of the Noble gases The noble gases were not discovered until about the turn of the last century. Because the Noble gases are highly un-reactive, they remained hidden in the a____. Helium was discovered with deposits of natural gas found under the bedrock. In 1892, scientists discovered that, when all the nitrogen and oxygen from a sample of air was reacted with hot magnesium, there was around one percent of the gas that would not react. This small fraction contained n______, argon and krypton. Discovery of the Noble gases: Word bank: air neon Percentage composition of noble gases in air Using helium Diagram % composition of noble gases 1 100 0.5 50 0 Argon Neon Helium Krypton 0 Nitrogen Oxygen Noble gases CO2 Notes The Noble gases were not discovered until 1892 due to their Hydrogen although having stability. They make up only 1% percent of the atmosphere. greater lift has now been Although they are stable they are still useful. replaced by stable helium.
  7. Slide 7: Science Interactive LTD Copyright 2005 Helium and its uses Helium is the least dense of the Noble gases. A balloon full of helium will have lift in normal air. Although hydrogen gives more l_____ because it has the lowest density of any of the elements it is also highly reactive. Helium makes for a safe alternative and is used in airships and ‘party balloons’ Helium is also used by deep seas divers instead of nitrogen. It has a low solubility and therefore reduces the risk of divers suffering the bends. This is when nitrogen in the blood comes out of solution and begins to bubble in the b_______. This can be fatal. Why is this condition called the bends ! Helium and its uses: Word bank: lift bubble Helium Using helium for lift Helium balloons Diagram He2 Ne10 Ar18 Notes Helium is a low density stable gas that gives Helium is also used for ‘lift’ to objects like balloons in air. Hydrogen party balloons. They are is better but it is also very unstable and can able to rise above the air. They also (when breathed Helium react with the oxygen in the Argon Neon atmosphere in) make you sound like forming water. This is an explosive reaction. Mickey Mouse.
  8. Slide 8: Science Interactive LTD Copyright 2005 Neon and its uses Neon is the most widely used Noble gas. Neon is used to make fluorescent light tubes, which can take on many colours. When you pass a high v_______ current across a tube full of n______, it glows and gives off light. The tubes can be coloured using various dyes making them ideal for use in advertising signs around the World. If you take a trip to London’s Piccadilly Circus, then you will see hundreds of flashing neon signs all advertising various products and fast food companies. Explain why a neon light uses less energy than a normal filament bulb ? Neon and its uses: Word bank: voltage neon Neon Neon lights at Piccadilly circus Choose a colour Diagram He2 Ne10 Ar18 Notes Scientists found out that when you pass a high By colouring the glass voltage current through a tube filled with tube you can colour the neon, it fluoresces. Neon lights are used in light that is emitted. Neon lights do not produce any Helium Neon advertising signs. There are also more energy Argon heat and are therefore efficient compared to filament bubs. much more efficient.
  9. Slide 9: Science Interactive LTD Copyright 2005 Argon and its uses Argon makes up nearly one percent of the composition of atmospheric air. Argon is more dense than air, so balloons filled with just argon appear to ‘sink.’ Argon has two main uses. Argon is used to replace air or o________ where you need an oxygen free environment in order to prevent combustion. Filament b______ made from tungsten contain argon to prevent the tungsten from oxidising with oxygen. Argon is also used during the welding of metals to prevent metals combusting with oxygen. What other processes require an oxygen free environment ? Argon and its uses: Word bank: oxygen bulbs Argon Using argon during welding Light bulbs Diagram e10 Ar18 Notes During welding very high temperatures would Light bulbs are filled with cause most metals to begin to react with inert argon gas so that the oxygen found in air. Argon is flowed over the tungsten filament does not begin to form tungsten Neon Argon weld to prevent the metals reacting. This oxide with oxygen from techniques is called ‘argon welding’ the atmosphere.
  10. Slide 10: Science Interactive LTD Copyright 2005 Krypton and its uses Krypton makes up a very small fraction of the composition of atmospheric air. Like argon, krypton is more d______ than air. Krypton has one main use. Krypton is used to produce high energy lasers. These lasers are seen in disco lighting shows. They also carry sufficient energy to melt metal during their w________. When a high voltage current is applied to the krypton gas, a high energy light is emitted that is used to produce laser light. Find out from google.co.uk how laser light is produced ? Krypton and its uses: Word bank: dense melting Krypton Krypton lasers Eye surgery Diagram e10 Kr36 Notes Krypton is used in lasers used for disco Krypton lasers are use to lighting and welding. A high voltage current remove excess corneal is applied to the krypton gas which produces a tissue during laser eye correction. The cornea is Neon Krypton high energy beam. This energy is sufficient to reshaped to give the cause melting in metals during welding. correct focal length.
