Although it is relatively rare on our planet, (0.0018 percent of Earth’s atmosphere), neon is the fifth most abundant element in the universe. 2. Neon has no stable compounds Ne 3. Which city in the US has the most neon lights? Las Vegas.That said, neon lighting is on the decline, being replaced by LED lighting. 20.180 4. Neon lights are used in aircraft because they can operate at very low temperatures. 5. In 1913 Neon was the first element discovered to consist of more than one stable isotope. All About Neon: Neon (Ne) is the second of the noble gases. Just like all noble gases, it is very non-reactive; it doesn’t form compounds with anything. Neon is non-reactive because its electron shells are full. Atomic Neon has two electron shells, the first containing two electrons and the second eight electrons. (1s2, 2s2, 2p6) This total of ten electrons gives neon the atomic number 10. 3 Properties of Neon Neon was the first element discovered to consist of more than one stable isotope. Neon-20 and Neon-22 were identified by mass spectrometry in 1913. The third stable isotope, neon-21 was detected later. Five radioactive isotopes of neon have also been identified. The Table below shows the relative abundance of the three stable isotopes. The weighted average of these isotopes gives an atomic mass of 20.18 amu. Neon gas is present in the atmosphere at about 1 part in 65,000. The melting and boiling points of the element are less than three degrees apart at 24.56K and 27.07K respectively. It is the fifth most abundant element in the universe. Interestingly, the Galileo spacecraft discovered neon in the upper part of Jupiter’s atmosphere. Because of its density, 0.008999 g/cm3, if a balloon were filled with Neon, it would rise in the air but at a slower rate than a balloon filled with helium (density 0.001785 g/cm3). Natural Abundance Isotope Mass (atom%) 20NE 19.99 90.48 21NE 20.99 0.27 22NE 21.99 9.25 Discovery and History Neon was discovered in 1898, by British scientists William Ramsay and Morris Travers. Both Argon and Helium were known elements at the time and Ramsey and Travers as- sumed that there must be an element between these noble gases. After unsuccessful at- tempts to derive this new ele- ment from minerals, Ramsay hypothesized that the new gas might be “hidden” by the other inert gases. So Ramsay and Travers froze a sample of argon and then slowly evaporated the argon under reduced pressure, collecting the first sample of gas that came off. This gas was different from argon. In order to obtain its emission spectrum, the scientists applied a voltage to a sample of the gas in a closed tube. Ramsey later wrote “the blaze of crimson light from the tube told its own story and was a sight to dwell upon and never forget… For the moment the actual spectrum of the gas did not matter in the least, for nothing in the world gave a glow such as we had seen.” (1) They named the new gas Neon, which is the Greek for “new”. Neon is still obtained commercially by the fractional distillation of liquid air. wardsci.com | 800-962-2660 4 Mechanism of Light Production How do we explain the bright red orange light produced by a charged neon tube? First we must understand that the energy of electrons is quantized. That means that all electrons have very spe- cific energies. The electrons in energy levels of an element can be excited to higher energy levels by the absorption of electrical energy. These “excited states” can lose energy in the form of light. The light produced by elements in a gaseous state, has discrete energies corresponding to the difference in energies between the ground state orbital and the excited state orbital. This means that different wavelengths or colors of light are emitted. E =h√ and √ = c/ λ therefore: E = hc/ λ E =energy h = Planck’s constant c = speed of light λ = wavelength of light √ = frequency For example, for the element He: electrical energy absorbed light energy emitted 2 1 2 1s2 1s 2 1s groundstate one of many groundstate excited states Each element has a very specific visible emission spectrum (400-700nm), which can be used to identify the element.

  • Guidance Document Cryogenic Liquids
    Guidance Document Cryogenic Liquids [This is a brief and general summary. Read the full MSDS for more details before handling.] Introduction: All cryogenic liquids are gases at normal temperature and pressure. The liquids are formed by cooling the gases below room temperature, followed by compression which liquefies them. Cryogenic liquids are kept in the liquid state at very low temperatures. Cryogenic liquids have boiling points below -73°C (-100°F). The most common cryogenic liquids currently on campus are liquid nitrogen, liquid argon and liquid helium. The different cryogens become liquids under different conditions of temperature and pressure. But all have two very important properties in common. First, the liquids and their vapors are extremely cold. The risk of destructive freezing of tissues is always present. In addition, when they vaporize the liquids expand to enormous volumes. For example, liquid nitrogen will expand 696 times as it vaporizes. Vaporization in a sealed container could rupture the vessel. Vaporization in an enclosed workspace could cause asphixiation by displacing air needed to support life. All of the cryogenic liquids on campus are inert, colorless, odorless, non-corrosive and non- flammable. Not all cryogens fit this description. Special permission would be required to use other cryogenic liquids. Liquid oxygen could produce an oxygen-rich atmosphere which could accelerate combustion of other materials. Liquid hydrogen, liquid methane or liquefied natural gas could form an extremely flammable mixture with air. Liquid carbon monoxide is extremely toxic and extremely flammable. Cryogenic liquids are received from the vendor in special vacuum jacketed cylinders, which allows for storage of the liquefied gas for a long time.

  • Design and Radiation Tests on a LED Based Emergency Evacuation
    Design and radiation tests on a LED based emergency evacuation directional lighting PoS(TWEPP-17)092 Juan Casas CERN-TE/CRG 1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Nikolaos Trikoupis1 CERN-TE/CRG 1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] A LED (Light Emitting Diode) based directional lighting system has been designed to indicate the best evacuation direction for applications like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel. The design includes constraints for redundancy required by safety systems and for components selection by radiation effects. Most of the literature for radiation effects on LEDs concern digital communications systems, although some recent reports do exist for visible spectrum power LEDs and the reduction in light output versus dose is coherent with the results presented in this paper. Prototype lighting units were irradiated in CERN’s CHARM facility up to a Total Integrated Dose (TID) of 870 Gy and no failures were observed. This paper describes the basic design, presents field tests and the effects of radiation on the LEDs luminance.

    Air separation plants. History and technological progress in the course of time. History and technological progress of air separation 03 When and how did air separation start? In May 1895, Carl von Linde performed an experiment in his laboratory in Munich that led to his invention of the first continuous process for the liquefaction of air based on the Joule-Thomson refrigeration effect and the principle of countercurrent heat exchange. This marked the breakthrough for cryogenic air separation. For his experiment, air was compressed Linde based his experiment on findings from 20 bar [p₁] [t₄] to 60 bar [p₂] [t₅] in discovered by J.

MASS FRACTIONATION AND THE ISOTOPIC ANOMALIES OF XENON AND KRYPTON IN ORDINARY CHONDRITES BY EDWARD WILLIAM HENNECKE, 1945- A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ROLLA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY 1971 T2572 51 pages by Approved ~ (!.{ 1.94250 ii ABSTRACT The abundance and isotopic composition of all noble gases are reported in the Wellman chondrite, and the abundance and isotopic composition of xenon and krypton are reported in the gases released by stepwise heating of the Tell and Scurry chondrites. Major changes in the isotopic composition of xenon result from the presence of radio­ genic Xel29 and from isotopic mass fractionation. The isotopic com­ position of trapped krypton in the different temperature fractions of the Tell and Scurry chondrites also shows the effect of isotopic fractiona­ tion, and there is a covariance in the isotopic composition of xenon with krypton in the manner expected from mass dependent fractiona­ tion.
