Where are the noble gases found naturally?

You can find noble gasses as trace amounts in the air, and are produced through various forms of nucleosynthesis in stars and supernovae.\n\n*Helium is a fusion product of main sequence stars and a fusion fuel for some Red Giant Stars\n*Neon is a fusion product of some red giant stars and a fusion fuel for massive stars nearing the end of their lives\n*Argon is produced by the decay of Potasium, and is often used as an inert gas while welding tungsten.\n*Krypton is a fission product of uranium, and used to make a powerful, short lived laser source.\n*Xenon is often used in high powered lamps\n*Radon is a decay product of Radium, and is radioactive, there are no to many common uses of Radon.

Some people have limited their answer to the air on Earth, where indeed Nitrogen is the most abundant gas.\n\nHowever, the most abundant element in the Universe is Hydrogen, the simplest, with one proton and one electron.  Just remember that the Sun is mainly composed of Hydrogen, and the Sun is the biggest object in the Solar System.  There are millions of stars (like the sun) in the Milky Way and millions of galxies like the Milky Way.  Got the point?\n\nJust for a laugh, you may also ponder this quote: The two most abundant things in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity. Harlan Ellison

"It is found in a number of minerals including allanite (also known as orthite), monazite, bastnasite, certie, and samarskite. Monazite and bastnasite are presently the two more important sources of cerium. Large deposits of monazite found on the beaches of Travancore, India, in river sands in Brazil, and deposits of allanite in the western United States, and bastnasite in Southern California will supply cerium, thorium, and the other rare-earth metals for many years to come.

As I understand it, the electrons are found where they are because of the interplay of the fundamental forces, and some random element.  Consider the possibility that asking where an electron is might be a silly question to "mother" nature, and she might give silly answers in response.\n\nthis is helpful:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom#Electron_configuration\n\nlook up the Pauli exclusion principle, it's coo

Krypton is a chemical element with the symbol Kr and atomic number 36. A colorless noble gas, krypton occurs in trace amounts in the atmosphere, is isolated by fractionating liquefied air, and is often used with other rare gases in fluorescent lamps. Krypton is inert for most practical purposes but it is known to form compounds with fluorine. Krypton can also form clathrates with water when atoms of it are trapped in a lattice of the water molecules.

1) False- NOBLE\n2) True\n3) False- RIGHT \n4) False- INACTIVE\n5) False- ARGON\n6) True ? (There is also the unnamed ununoctium At. #118)\n7) False- RADON\n8) True\n\nYou should really do your own homework

Realllllll Simply:\n\nCovalent molecules (atoms that make up the molecule) each contribute enough electrons (which are shared) to each other so that each atom thinks is has the nearest Noble Gas configuration. \n\nIonic molecules (the atoms that make up the molecule) transfer the electrons. One atom gains them and one atom loses them. Thus the atoms become ions (as in ionic bond), so they have charges.\n\nGet an "A".

Well, the elements in column 1 when ionized have a +1 charge. The elements in column 2 have a +2 charge when ionized. The elements in column 7 when ionized have a -1 charge, and the column 6 elements form -2 charged ions.\n\nThe column 8 elements are called noble gases, because they have a full valence shell of electrons and don't bond readily with anything. They don't normally ionize.

Elements with this property are called noble gases or inert gases.\n\nHelium, argon, neon, kyrpton, xenon and radon.

On Earth, its a gas- In the universe as a whole, it is likely a plasma found in stars.  On large planets such as Jupiter, likely in a liquid state.  The conditions on Earth are for from normal for the universe in general.

Yes.....sulphur is in its pure form is in the earths crust, and Radon is a noble gas, meaning it is completely unreactive and can only be found in its elemental form.  It is a radioactive gas and is found naturally occurring, especially in rural areas.  The south-west of England for example has high levels of Radon gas.

Natural gas, commonly referred to as gas, is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane. It is found in oil fields and natural gas fields, and in coal beds. When methane-rich gases are produced by the anaerobic decay of non-fossil organic material, these are referred to as biogas. Sources of biogas include swamps, which produce swamp gas; marshes, which produce marsh gas; landfills, which produce landfill gas, as well as sewage sludge and manure, by way of anaerobic digesters, in addition to Enteric fermentation particularly in cattle.\n\nLiquified petroleum gas (also called liquefied petroleum gas, liquid petroleum gas, LPG, LP Gas, or autogas) is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel in heating appliances and vehicles, and increasingly replacing chlorofluorocarbons as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant to reduce damage to the ozone layer. Varieties of LPG bought and sold include mixes that are primarily propane, mixes that are primarily butane, and mixes including both propane and butane, depending on the season—in winter more propane, in summer more butane. Propylene and butylenes are usually also present in small concentration. A powerful odorant, ethanethiol, is added so that leaks can be detected easily. LPG is manufactured during the refining of crude oil, or extracted from oil or gas streams as they emerge from the ground.

It depends on if you are looking at large quanities or just any ammount goes. It also depends on if you are looking at elements that are only found in compounds or not. Oxygen, hydrogen, argon, carbon, nitrogen, alluminium, silicon, iron, tugstan, lithium, potassum, titanium to name a few. almost all of the elements can be found near the earth's surface except those that are man made, usually the extremly heavy ones like plutonium.

The gas in the balloon is helium. These helium atoms were once the alpha particles of radioactive decay trapped with other particles beneath the ground in natural gas deposits. For each uranium atom that decays to lead, 8 alpha particles are emitted. An alpha particle with 2 electrons is a helium atom.

Look at your periodic table. \n\nHydrogen - 1s1\nHelium - 1s2\nLithium - 1s2 2s1\nGo to Neon - 1s2 2s2 2p6\nArgon - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6\nKrypton - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6\n\nSo, let's say you need Silver (Ag)\n[Kr] 5s2 4d9\n\nIt's perfectly acceptable to use a noble gas in brackets to represent the configuration.\n\nI hope this give you an idea how to write it all.

Many things are in space...the are compounts of gases, metals, rock and ice...Elements you can find on earth too

That depends on what you mean; Carbon is found in its pure form as graphite (pensil lead) and diamond.  It is a major component of coal, and a fairly large amount of every living organism on the planet.  For experiments using carbon (like production on nanotubes), pure carbon monoxide gas is typically used in a high-energy environment (like high power lasers, plasma gas, etc).  The carbon dioxide (CO) is produced from iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5).
