【Aiden in English】

        Krypton is the number thirty-six on the periodic table. The atom can be found in liquid air after evaporating it, and the residue left behind is krypton. This is the method that Sir William Ramsay and Sir Morris Travers used in 1898 which led to the discovery of krypton. This noble gas has been used in certain electrical lights as well. The name “krypton” comes from the Greek word “the hidden”.

        氪在元素周期表中排行第36位，由液體空氣揮發後的殘餘成分提取而成，早在1898年威廉·拉姆賽和莫里斯·特拉弗斯兩位爵士正是採用這種分餾法發現了它。該惰性氣體被用作某些電燈照明光源，其名稱源於希臘文“隱藏”之意。
