Chapter EH, Problem 58R

Solution

Interpretation : Argon is used in everyday lighting even though krypton and xenon produce whiter light and last longer to be hypothesized.

Concept Introduction : The elements of group 18 are called a noble gas. Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon are among the elements of group 18.

Argon is used in everyday lighting because of its inertness and it is perfectly fitting into the filament of the atmosphere.

Different lighting applications use argon, neon, krypton, and xenon.

Compared to conventional argon bulbs, krypton and xenon bulbs are brighter, sharper, and stand for a longer time. These bulbs are frequently used in flashlights, chandeliers, and the headlights of high-end automobiles.

Everyday lightbulbs like those in lights contain argon. The inert nature of argon makes it the perfect atmosphere for filament.
