Title:- Uses of all inert gases.

Introduction
Elements of group 18 are all gases and have completely filled outermost orbital, that's why these
elements are highly stable and don’t react with other elements easily. This is the reason these
elements are known as inert gases or inert elements. The word inert means chemically unreactive.
These gases are also known as Noble Gases. Group 18 is also called the zero group. So, elements of
group 18 are also called zero group elements.

Procedure
 Thoroughly readed some refrence books.
 Taken things into consideration about inert gase,which was guided by my teachers to me.
 Also did some internent surfing on inert gases
 Gathered images from internent.

OBSERVATION:-

Helium 
 Helium is used for the treatment of asthma, emphysema and other breathing problems. . 
 Helium is used in semiconductor processing. 
 Helium is used in laser processing as well.

Neon
 Neon is used in lighting systems such as lamps etc. 
 Neon gives different colours with metals such as mercury. It is used for landscaping and interior design. 
 Neon is used in parts of aircraft.

Argon
 Being inert gas argon is used in heat treating processes for matters. 
 It is used in 3-D printing. 
 It is used in metallurgy as it prevents oxidation or rusting.

Krypton 
 It has application in MRI for imaging airways. 
 It is used in nuclear medicine for lung ventilation or perfusion scans. 
 It is used in satellites as a propellant. 

Xenon
 A mixture of oxygen and xenon helps in increasing the number of RBCs in the blood. 
 It is used in NMR Spectroscopy. 
 It is used in imaging the heart, brain and lungs. 

Radon
 It is used to cure arthritis. 
 It is useful for obtaining polonium by radioactive decomposition. 
 By measuring radon concentration in soil, we can map surface geological faults.

 
CONCLUSION

Inert gases are generally colourless, odourless and tasteless and non-inflammable gas. For many
decades they are put into zero groups of the traditional periodic table as they are thought to be
completely non-bonding to other atoms, so that   the atoms of the noble gases do not react with the
atoms of any other elements for a new chemical compound. Their structural identification along with
the finding of their characteristics that shows that in the special condition they do react to form some
of the special compounds have correctly put them in group 18 of the modern periodic table.
