Krypton is a very cool element, I mean come on it forms a hard crystal called “kryptonite” that hurts superman and could possibly kill him. As you read this essay it will discuss the discovery of the element, what it looks like, the common uses of it and where it is commonly found, why my element is interesting, and how the people who read this essay will remember the element Krypton. First it will discuss, the discovery of the element. The discovery of the element Krypton is quite interesting. Two
I am the chemical element known as Krypton. I can also be referred as Kr. I will be telling you about my history, my properties, my family and my occurrence. I will also be telling you about my uses and ores, also the analytical methods based on me. I received the name krypton from the Greek word "hidden" because I was hiding for so long, undetected. I am from a rare group of gases called noble gases. The other noble gases are helium, xenon, neon, argon and radon. I was discovered in England in
the periodic table and are chemical elements with similar properties. All of the noble gases have a full outer shell. None of them have color, odor, and all have very low chemical reactivity. There are six of them and they are Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Helium Helium has an atomic number of 2. It is has no color, no odor, or no taste. It is also an inert monatomic gas. It is the first of the noble gases on the periodic table. It’s melting and boiling points are the lowest among
about neon and its many uses. First, I'm going to tell you about the history and uses of neon. Neon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist, and Morris M. Travers, an English chemist, shortly after their discovery of the element krypton in 1898. Neon is one of the most amusing elements used today. Neon mixed with some other elements can make a bright light in an enclosed tube. This is mostly used in advertising signs (figure A) (A blue or green coloration in the discharge can be
The emission spectrum of an element is the spectrum of frequencies in electromagnetic radiation emitted due to a specific atom's electrons, creating a transition from a high energy to a low energy state. There are many possible electron transitions for each different atom in which the transition has a specific energy difference. The collection of different transitions leads to different radiated wavelengths and in turn makes up an emission spectrum. Each element's emission spectrum is unique and
The main characters of this story are Superman, Supergirl, and her worst enemy, Bizarrogirl. The story takes place in a city called Midvale. When Supergirl is forced to come to earth from the planet Krypton because it was about to blow up into tiny pieces, she wants to blend in with all of the humans. She decided to become an orphan at the Midvale Orphanage until someone adopts her. Eventually she gets adopted and lives with her new parents, Fred and Edna Danvers. Supergirl can’t totally control
Fight Without Mercy - The Women Of ‘Krypton’ In just under three weeks, we will be graced with the series premiere of Krypton, a precursor television series to the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) film, Man of Steel. The series tells the story of Seg-El, the grandfather of Superman and how he must save his family legacy. Women are always known to play a role within Superman lore, no matter if they’re civilian or some kind of alien warrior. However, this article isn’t discussing the males of the show
know that something colorless, odorless, and tasteless is really there? How does something with no visible properties get discovered through the science of 1898? Krypton, a noble gas, is an element that although you cannot see, is definitely a big part of science today. Through the technology of 1898 to today’s incredible advancements, Krypton has been there through it all. Discovered by Sir William Ramsey and his student, Morris (M.W.) Traver, this noble gas was first “seen” as a residue left after
“It’s a bird, it’s a plane no it’s Superman!” I’m pretty sure we’ve all heard this before, Superman is a superhero that was created by Writer Jerry Siegel and Artist Joe Shuster in 1938. Superman “Kal-El” is a human like alien from the Planet Krypton, that was sent down to Earth as an infant. Given the name Clark Kent by his new adopted parents, he learned to keep his powers a secret, until the day he needed it most to save his planet and loved ones. Superman is a very famous and well known superhero
Just about everyone knows or has heard of Superman. His great ways with words and his good looks, Superman was an instant hit in the comic book industry. During the Cold War the comic book industry became a booming sensation, with novels including Captain America, The Hulk and Superman. Because of the amount of stress during the Cold War of possible communists living in the United States, comic books and comic strips became an American form of entertainment and propaganda. During this time period
Argon, Xenon, Neon, and Krypton. Ramsay furthered the discoveries of Helium and Radon, as well. In his later life, he was given many awards, such as the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, the Davy Medal, and was knighted. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1904. His later awards were awarded to him shortly after. He was a very smart man who accomplished an assortment of scientific discoveries and achievements in his lifetime. Even though he was a busy man he still made time to his
1898. The two scientists discovered it mistakenly while experimenting with crude krypton, another noble gas. They were separating the elements in the crude krypton through a process called fractional distillation. In fractional distillation, the process separates two elements that have different boiling points. Basic-ally, when a sample is heated, the faster element leaves first, leaving the second element behind. Krypton was known to have a boiling point at a temperature that is lower than xenon. So
Krypton’s structure that ultimately gave way to the Kryptonian’s deterioration. The corrosion is caused by the rejection of the idea that society should be free to make their own decisions and live their own lives. Also by the denial of society on Krypton to acknowledge that their organisation of the Kyrptonian Empire was failing. Arguably, Plato’s most influential piece is “The Republic”. It enables the audience to clearly identify and understand diverse concepts that are applicable in all of philosophy
Superman discovered his foreign origin throughout the movie The Man of Steel. He was from a place Called Krypton that was destroyed because the people were stealing energy from the planets core which made it unstable. He knew he had to save planet earth from the same fate as his home planet and it needed to be done in order to save the human race and his family
across the galaxy to Earth from a utopian planet on the verge of destruction. This planet Krypton is millennia older than Earth, and consequently foreshadows our own world as their civilization is much more evolved culturally and technologically. Although hailing from another planet is important the character needs to have knowledge of the wonders of his former home. In Man of Steel, Superman learns of Krypton through pre-recorded messages that his parents sent with him. In the messages, Superman’s
upon a hero named Krypton who guarded his land for centuries since he was immortal. I asked him “May you join my task force”. He replied “in order for me to join you will have to face a challenge that will determine if your worth my time”. The challenge’s goal was to see if I had patience in me or not. He made me meditate in public for 7 hours in the constant noise. Well I passed the test but never in my life I ever focused that much into one thing. My journey continued with Krypton as my side partner
While it’s easy to dismiss the concept of beings with supernatural powers and mythological fictions, superheroes and fictional Gods have various similarities and differences. The most common superhero, of course, is Superman, while the greatest warrior in Iliad is Achilles. These two characters clash with one another in personality, weaknesses, strengths and characteristic. There are various stories on the history of Superman causing one to believe that he was mischievous insurrectionist. Superman
Looking a little deeper than surface information, both heroes' parents passed away when they were very young. Batman's parents died by the hand of a petty thief in a robbery turned sour, while Superman's ferternal parents blew up on their home planet Krypton. Another event shared by the soldiers of justice is the fact that both were influenced by their father to become crime fighters. Clark Kent's father asked him to use his powers and gifts for good. Bruce Wayne's father was murdered and Bruce felt guilty
“Faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than a locomotive, jumps tall buildings in a single bound.” Superman is known throughout the world for being the savior of a city called Metropolis. In every comic book, movie, or action figure ever presented to the public, Superman is a handsome, strong man who can defeat all odds at all times. The movie Superman was a success, showing how the superhero saved lives and yet lived a humble life. As one watches the movie, though, he might notice the many similarities
Louis Murphy Mrs. Shymanski CP English 12 3rd Period 20 May 2016 Son of Krypton and the Warrior of Greece The superhuman from the planet Krypton and the superhuman from Greece on Earth have quite a lot in common and a few things, not so much. The stories of Superman and Achilles originate from totally different times and from different geographical locations on Earth but perhaps some ideas that came to create Superman, a much more modern character than Achilles, were derived from Achilles and
