Radon Rn the atomic number of radon is 86 which means it has 86 protons. the atomic weight of radon is 222. radon is the heaviest known gas. the gas form is radons standard fom. radon is in the sixth period on the periodic table and is the eighteenth group. Radon is in the p block of the periodic tableThe color of radon is colorless gas

Radon is classified as a non metal Radon was discovered in the 1900ds by a German named Friedrich Ernest The first name that Radon was called was niton this was Latin for the word shining The melting point for Radon is 202 or -71 c (91 F) 4400 kg is the density of RadonAt room temperature Radon is a colorless gas but when the temperature is cooled below freezing point Radon turns a yellow and at higher than room temperature Radon gas becomes an orange/red color.There are many hazards with Radon gas but the main one is inhalation of the gas Radon has been known to be in some spring waters around the world The air around us does not react with the element radon Water and radon do not react with each other but it does dissolve slightly The only halogen that radon reacts with is fluorine to make difluoride radon (II) RnF2 but they have not properly characterized the compoundRadon does not have a reaction with acids or bases Radon gas only has three uses radon is used in occasional therapeutic use, earthquake prediction, and radiation therapy in hospitals.1993-2012

[|[[http://www.webelements.com/radon/uses.html1993-2012|http://www.webelements.com/radon/uses.html]]] There are 0 oxidation numbers Radon’s binary compounds Radon does not have a compound with Hydrides, Fluorides, Chlorides, Bromides, Iodides, Sulfides, Selenides, Tellurides, Nitrides, Carbonyls, and Complexes. The element radon has a very short life it last about 3 to 4 days. Radon decays into a longer lived solid it is radioactive.Can collect on dust particles and be inhaled

When radon decays it can take the form of radium, thorium, or uranium

Radon can also decay into polonium

Radon is the decay product of the radium salts used in the paint on the numbers on the 1950s clocks
