Krypton's atomic number is 36 and its symbol is Kr. Krypton is a colorless noble gas that is capable of illuminating a light blue color when excited, not to be confused with the fictional material “Kryptonite”. Krypton is most commonly used with other halogen gasses in fluorescent lamps and bulbs when bright light is needed.

The Krypton in this cube display is under vacuum within a glass ampule. This means that when the cube is put within an electric field light-blue plasma is produced within the display.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.
