Other info

Name origin:Greek: kryptos (hidden)
Description:Colorless, odorless, tasteless rare noble gas.
Discovered by:Sir William Ramsey, M.W. Travers
Year:1898
Place:Great Britain
Sources:Forms 1 millionth of the atmosphere. Obtained from production of liquid air.
Use(s):Used in lighting products. Some is used as inert filler-gas in incandescent bulbs. Some is mixed with argon in fluorescent lamps. The most important use is in flashing stroboscopic lamps that outline airport runways.
