MY STORY
  • I was discovered by Sir William Ramsay in 1898, in Great Britain.

  • He and his students discovered me floating in the air after an experiment of boiling away water, oxygen, nitrogen, helium, and argon

  • They decided to name me Krypton after the Greek word "kryptos" meaning "hidden" (because i was almost undetectable in the air during the experiment.

  • I even helped William Ramsay discover Neon through this method.

My founder!


MY JOBS
  • The famous cartoon, Superman and his weakness(Kryptonite) is based off of me.
Look it's me and Superman!
  • used with argon as a low-pressure filling gas for fluorescent lights
I have gas
  • used in some photographic flash lamps for high-speed photography, lamps
I'm in there somewhere...
