	Noble gas compound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Noble gas compounds are (unstable) chemical compounds that include an element from column 18 of the periodic table, the noble gases.
		Until the 20th century it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds due to their full valence shell of electrons that rendered them very chemically stable and unreactive.
		Prior to 1962, the main compounds of noble gas known were the hydrates and clathrates.

	Noble gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The noble gases are the chemical elements in group 18 (old-style Group 0) of the periodic table.
		The name 'noble gases' is an allusion to the similarly unreactive Noble metals, so called due to their preciousness, resistance to corrosion and long association with the aristocracy.
		Because of their unreactivity, the noble gases were not discovered until 1868, when helium was detected spectrographically in the Sun.

		The term noble gas comes from the fact that, just like the common view of human nobility, these gases generally sit around not doing anything, and avoid reacting with 'common' elements.
		In fact, because of their unreactivity, the noble gases were not discovered until the existence of helium was deduced from spectrographic[?] analysis of the sun.
		The noble gases also have very weak inter-atomic forces of attraction, and consequently very low melting points and boiling points.

	Reactor Analysis: Research Initiatives: Noble Gas Tagging (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the gas tagging method, one adds a small amount (nominally 1 ml) of stable noble gas of specified isotopic composition to the helium fill gas of each fuel rod during fabrication.
		The development and implementation of noble gas tagging techniques was pursued for use in the EBR-II sodium-cooled fast reactor during the early 1970s, when EBR-II was in use for fuel pin irradiations in support of fast reactor fuel development.
		Since gas tag detection is done while at power, it allows the many core-related activities that cannot be initiated until after the leaking assembly has been identified to be undertaken prior to the refueling shutdown.

	Noble Gas Isotope Geochemistry: Oil Hydrogeology
		Therefore, we believe the source of the excess heavy noble gas component was adsorbed air initially trapped in petroleum source rocks and that this component was expelled and mixed with hydrocarbons during oil-gas expulsion and primary migration.
		Apparently, the heavy noble gas-enriched component mixed with the hydrocarbons during oil/gas formation and expulsion is subsequently diluted by noble gases extracted from air saturated groundwater as the oil and gas phases interact with water during secondary migration and storage.
		The solid lines are dilution trajectories depicting the change in noble gas composition of oil as it quantitatively extracts noble gases from air saturated groundwater during secondary migration and storage.

		The six noble gases are found in group 18 of the periodic table.
		These elements were considered to be inert gases until the 1960's, because their oxidation number of 0 prevents the noble gases from forming compounds readily.
		All noble gases have the maximum number of electrons possible in their outer shell (2 for Helium, 8 for all others), making them stable.

	New noble gas chemical compounds created as result of Hebrew University research
		Until now, the "laws" of chemistry decreed that the noble elements, including the gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon, which are found on the right-hand side of the periodic table, have a special status.
		This observation, described towards the end of the 19th century, was explained with the development of quantum theory about 70 years ago, when it was discovered that the inertia of the noble gas atoms derives from their closed and stable electronic shells, which makes these atoms practically impervious to chemical reactions with other atoms.
		The combining of noble gas atoms with basic organic molecules (hydrocarbons) is an accomplishment which has aroused great interest in the international chemical community and opens the way for new varieties of chemical derivates utilizing these gases.

		The historical application was to announce the existence of leaking fuel pins in sodium-cooled fast reactors by detecting released noble gas fission products or noble gas tags of specified isotopic ratio that had been intentionally placed inside the fuel pin cladding.
		It may be a clathrate effect in which the heavy, monatomic noble gas atoms are trapped in the interstitial spaces in the much larger fluid molecules.
		Alternatively, the mechanism may be a temperature-dependent solubility phenomenon that fortuitously absorbs and releases the noble gases between the "convenient" temperatures of 20 and 60C.

		This discovery constitutes the first-ever detection of a noble gas in a comet.
		Noble gases provide valuable tracers of the thermal history and, therefore, clues to the origins of comets.
		Because noble gases do not interact chemically with other elements and because noble gases are easily lost from icy bodies like comets at very low temperatures through processes much like evaporation, their presence or absence provides a way of measuring the thermal history of comets.

		It is therefore important to understand the noble gas budget of the Earth, both when it formed and as it aged.
		The hot-accretion model of Earth evolution contrasts with the “standard model” of noble gas geochemistry that assumes that the bulk of the mantle accreted in a primordial undegassed state with chondritic, or cosmic, abundances of the noble gas elements.
		So-called primitive ratios of noble gas isotopes may be preserved by ancient separation of He and Ne from U+Th and storage of the gas in low-U+Th environments such as depleted lithosphere or olivine cumulates (Anderson, 1998a, 1998b; Natland, 2003).

		Noble gases do not react with other elements, so they are good chemical indicators.
		Right now, the noble gas scientists have wide-ranging projects, such as studying water movement on continents and in oceans, reconstructing ancient continental temperature records using groundwater as an archive, and analyzing gas exchange between the atmosphere and hydrosphere.
		Most noble gases are found in concentrations of a parts-per-million (ppm) or smaller scale, so the inlet system they designed had to be sensitive enough to extract minute amounts of noble gases from water and rocks.
