Half Life
The Krypton atom has 4 energy levels. The first one has 2 electrons, the second 8, the third 18, and the fourth 8.
A colorless, odorless gas that is inert to everything but flourine gas. The isotope Krypton 86 has a line in its atomic spectrum that is now the standard measure of length: 1 meter is defined as exaclty 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of this line. Krypton is one of the rarest gases in the earth's atmosphere, accounting for only 1 part per million by volume.
