It originates Greek word "kryptos" meaning "hidden". KRYPTON: THE NOBLEST GAS Krypton is represented as Kr on the periodic table, only the best symbol for the almighty Krypton! The Atomic Mass of Krypton is 83.798g KRYPTON: THE NOBLEST GAS Contains Found Within: Protons =36,Neutron=48,Electron=36 KRYPTON: THE NOBLEST GAS Krypton is a nonmetal, it is part of the Noble Gas family which are the finest of the elements, but Krypton is the noblest of them all. KRYPTON: HOW IS IT OBTAINED YOU ASK? Krypton is found after liquid air is completely boiled, and the remains are the noble gas we know as Krypton, it also is found in Earth’s atmosphere.
