Radon

Hello my name is Radon.
I am a noble gas
So treat me as royalty.
Otherwise you could become one of my victims and die from lung cancer.
I am colorless, so therefore you will never know when I have come to your house.
I am the heaviest gas.
When I am cold I glow a brilliant yellow color.
When I am freezing I turn a yellow-orange color.
My date of discovery is unknown other than during the 1900’s.
Friedrich Ernst Dorn discovered me.
My originial name was radium emanation.
However, William Ramsey and Robert Whytlaw-Gray changed my name to Radon in 1908.
If you ever need to locate me I am in group 16, period 8.
Now you know a little bit about me.
Be weary of me but don’t fear me for I only kill about 20,000 people a year.

By Elyse Rossi

Silent and swift
deadly and fast
it comes as a gas
and will always last it cant be seen or smelt
a form of radium
but in a class of its own
can be helpful
yes usually harmful
its in your walls
and in the ground
tells when earthquakes
are on their way
its radon
By Jimmy Carle

RADON

by. Kacy Ormsby

Radon is heavy but noble

He's part of the noble family

He may be harmful and bad

But when hes cold he can shine so bright

When he gets even colder he shines a brilliant orange

Dont let him get in your house

He could do great great harm

So check for him often

He forms from uranium and lots of plutomium too

He floats real low to the ground

He might just float right under you

Radon radon radon

What would we do without you
By Kacy Ormsby

The Last Noble Gas

Most noble of all gases,
Heaviest too, one hopes.
Much Krypton and Argon,
And with radioactive isotopes.

Not very usefull in itself,
But still fascinating,
Am I the only one
Who finds this poem scintillating?
