atomic weight: 83.80
colorless gaseous element, belongs to the noble gases. occurs in the air,
0.0001 by volume. it can be extracted from liquid air by fractional
distillation. generally not isolated, but used with other inert gases in
fluorescent lamps. five natural isotopes, and five radioactive isotopes.
kr-85, the most stable radioactive isotope, has a half-life of 10.76
years and is produced in fission reactors. practically inert, though known
to form compounds with fluorine.
