What is a Krypton (Kr) ?

Krypton (Kr) is a noble gas with atomic number 36. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and is chemically stable under normal conditions. Krypton is found in trace amounts in the Earth's atmosphere and is chemically inert with very low reactivity.

Krypton is used primarily in lighting applications, such as high-efficiency fluorescent lamps and incandescent bulbs, due to its ability to produce bright light and long lifespan. It is also used in specific types of flash lamps and high-intensity discharge lamps. Additionally, krypton plays a role in low-temperature physics and is used in cooling systems, taking advantage of its low boiling point and high thermal conductivity.

Though rare and expensive, krypton has important applications in certain industries and poses minimal health risks unless inhaled in high concentrations for extended periods.
