Question

Find out the application of all the inert gases and their 3 uses

Answer 1

Inert gases are 6 in number and they are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon.

There is a seventh undiscovered inert gas and its proposed name is Oganesson.

The uses of inert gas are as follows:

1. Helium: Used as a coolant in Hadron Collider, used to fill balloons, used as protective atmosphere for optic fibres.

2. Neon: Neon signs, vacuum discharge tube gas, diving equipment gas.

3. Argon: Used as protective shield in arc welding, non-reactive blanket in manufacture of titanium, suitable atmosphere for growth of silicon crystals.

4. Krypton: Advertisement sign boards, photographic flashes, fluorescent light bulbs.

5. Xenon: Photographic flashes, high pressure arc lamps, gas of motion picture projection.

6. Radon: Used for research purposes, cancer therapy, tumour therapy.

Answer 2

Below, I've listed the uses of all the inert gases.

1. Helium: Used to fill balloons, used for cryogenics in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), also used in welding

2. Neon: It is used in Television tubes, neon lamps (signs), used as a cryogenic refrigerant, also used in Helium-Neon lasers

3. Argon: It is used as a protective shield in arc welding, used in ICP spectrometry, also used in manufacturing of titanium as a non-reactive blanket

4. Krypton: Used in discharge tubes, used in fluorescent light bulbs, and in advertisement sign boards

5. Xenon: It is used in instruments for radiation detection, used in photographic flashes, and also in high pressure arc lamps to produce UV light

6. Radon: It is used to treat tumours, used in paints that glow in the dark, and in some kinds of cancer treatment procedures.
