by Jaimini Ram
1. Atomic model of krypton
2. electronic configuration
2.1. 2, 8, 18, 8
3. discovery & history
3.1. Krypton was discovered in Britain in 1898 by Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist, and Morris Travers, an English chemist, in residue left from evaporating nearly all components of liquid air.
4. unique characteristics
4.1. It has a full outer shell of electrons, rendering it largely inert to reactions with other elements. However, krypton does make some compounds.
