Used in the best adult signs, neon proves that even a gas can be very, very slimy.

Argon: Surprisingly present in our atmosphere, argon is also used in imitation neon lights, which is the only thing less classy than being used in a neon light.

Krypton: Often misclassified as a noble gas, this planet orbits a red sun and is believed to have been the original home of Superman.

Xenon: Pronounced with a Z sound, xenon is known for being a gas that sounds like it’s from the future. Chemically, the “X” atoms in this element orbit the nucleus, which will come in handy when we use it to defeat the aliens. Legally, you are required to say “xenon” in a robotic-sounding voice.

Radon: Often confused with the stylish fabric rayon, you will be naked if you wear radon.2 For an “inert” and “noble” gas, it is surprisingly active and callous, since it is radioactive. Prolonged contact with radon may cause you to suffer symptoms of radioactivity, so it’s best to avoid this gas unless you lost one of your arms and need to grow a new one. In that case, it’s probably floating around somewhere.

»SCIENTIFIC FACT

The ignoble gases are equally influential, but it’s better not to give them any more attention.
