Talk:Krypton difluoride

Color
What does it mean for a solid to be colorless? Thmazing (talk) 18:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Er... think of ice.

Krypton tetrafluoride?
I'm quite sure that KrF4 has not been synthesised. Double sharp (talk) 13:10, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

The article means that the theoretical KrF4 can be stronger. That's why it says 'could'. Exe csrss (talk) 15:15, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Cold krypton comfort
The wire has a large current, causing it to reach temperatures around 680 °C.

In order to achieve optimal yields the gap between the wire and the solid krypton should be 1 cm, giving rise to a temperature gradient of about 900 °C/cm.

By grade school arithmetic, that puts the krypton at -220 °C (or about 50 K).

Plausible? Well, it can't be ruled out, but it certainly makes the apparatus even more exotic. &mdash; MaxEnt 00:43, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
