      Despite these impressive developments, neon and helium have not been forced to form genuine chemical bonds in neutral entities to this day. The status of the ingenious but fruitless efforts as of has been summarized in the insightful review Frenking et al.It is important to realize here that the genuine challenge in formation of noble gas species is connected with electrically neutral systems. This issue is similar in some aspects to the following one: what is the largest oxidation state which may be achieved for a given element? By a similar token, it is very easy to generate chemical bonds to helium, or to neon, letting alone argon and heavier noble gases—but one must use naked cations to bind them.Indeed, a multitude of helides , i. Obviously, analogous cationic species containing neon or argon are even more facile to manufacture than those of helium, since Lewis basicity measured by proton affinity of light noble gas atoms increases in the order: He 1. Consequently, there is a vast literature on theoretical predictions of novel light noble gas-containing cations Borocci et al.However, the neutral solid state analogues of helides stabilized by counteranions do not exist albeit their first xenon analogues were successfully prepared Seppelt and Seidel ; Hwang et al. Having understood that this is not difficult for noble gas atoms to form chemical bonds per se, but this is quite challenging to achieve bonding in neutral moieties i. Unfortunately, most of such connections are bound by weak forces and they may be classified as van der Waals complexes Zou et al.This is e. Nevertheless, the adduct of Ne with AuF has been observed experimentally Wang et al. These were Frenking and colleagues Koch et al. But the calculated Ar—Be bond energy is only 0. This is also the case of the related NeBeS adduct which exhibits an even smaller value of the bonding energy Wang and Wang  No helium adducts of this kind were ever prepared, albeit they have been theorized.Similarly, isoelectronic adducts of the type RNBeNG where R is an electronegative substituent were studied theoretically Antoniotti et al.Not surprisingly, for all complexes which are weakly bound via polarization forces, stability of helium adducts is somewhat smaller than that of the respective neon ones helium has just two electrons, while neon has ten. The neutral compounds of helium and neon bearing strong covalent bonds to noble gas atom were considered nearly half a century ago Liebman and Allen  These predictions were never confirmed in experiment.Thus—if preparable—these salts would likely be thermally unstable or even explosive. It is completely unclear at this moment what reaction pathways could be used to generate such metastable species, since even more unstable precursors should possibly be used for a facile downhill reaction.For example, superhalogens were suggested as one possible substrate of this reaction Samanta but this strategy has not yet been tested in theoretical calculations for the two lightest noble gases. The first theoretical study has indicated that HHeF is a local minimum at the potential energy surface, while its neon analogue is not at the CCSD level of theory Wong  However, the ZPE-corrrected energy barrier for the highly exoenergetic dissociation by nearly 7 eV!Subsequent studies using multireference methods have showed that the barrier is even smaller than initially thought, and the predicted lifetime of HHeF is only fs Takayanagi and Wada  It was also suggested that HHeF cannot be sufficiently well stabilized by complexation Giordani et al. Some authors considered placing or in situ generating of HHeF molecules in the helium matrix and applying high pressure Bihary et al.Albeit the bonds to NG are stiffened at high pressure, this strategy has multiple problems, such as for example necessity to keep the HHeF molecules strictly isolated from one another. Moreover, subsequent calculations have showed that HHeF molecules are far from being thermodynamically stable even at huge pressure of GPa Grochala  Last but not least, HNgCl molecules were also theoretically studied McDowell ; the CISD results suggest that, just like in the case of fluoride derivative, the stoichiometry containing neon does not correspond to a minimum at the potential energy surface, while the helium species is a genuine minimum.In this way, NG atom with the stable doublet He or octet Ne electronic configuration avoids being pushed into a hypervalent bonding for a critical discussion of a concept of hypervalence cf. Gillespie and Silvi  The last type of molecules containing covalently bound He, which have been theorized in the past, are the derivatives of helium monoxide, HeO, with small molecules which exhibit substantial dipole moment Grochala a ,  This observation has led this author to postulate that neon is in fact the most noble of noble gases, and it should be the first member of the Group 18, with helium moved to the Group 2 of the Periodic Table Grochala a , b ,  The HeO LiF 2 molecule is also different from other neutral species bearing helium by the fact that the noble gas atom has only one close neighbor and the trans position is free this helps to avoid hypervalence at helium.Remarkably, the neon analogue does not correspond to a minimum Grochala but the heavier noble gases form the minima on the singlet potential energy surface Szarek and Grochala  Helium seems to show affinity to oxygen, just like beryllium does. This observation, again, led this author to reconsider the position of helium and neon in the Periodic Table cf. The striking relative inertness of neon—in cationic, anionic and neutral systems—has been noticed before by several authors independently Frenking and Cremer ; Wong ; Lundell et al.The inertness of neon has been traditionally assigned to the Pauli repulsion involving 2 p shell—note: helium lacks p electrons, hence Pauli repulsion is greatly reduced. Interestingly, none of these authors has suggested that this implies that neon is the most inert noble gas.It was finally Grandinetti who admitted such possibility Grandinetti , he failed, however, to specifically cite all earlier proposers Bent ; Scerri ; Grochala a , b , , which resulted in an exchange of correspondence between Roald Hoffmann, Felice Grandinetti and the journal editor Pichon  Let us reanalyze here different aspects of various placements of helium and neon in the Periodic Table Fig.We have focused primarily on these two energy-related parameters of atoms, as they govern many physical and chemical properties of elements. To clearly observe the trends of properties we always normalize the absolute values to the value exhibited by the first lightest member of the series and we then draw the plots with respect to the period number of the Periodic Chart.Graphs on the left in Fig. The theoretical computational results described here support version c reproduced with permission from Grochala a. The normalized I P top and E A bottom values for atoms representing the chemical elements from Groups 1, 2, 17 and 18 cf. Since the E A values are predominantly null for the elements of Groups 2 and 18, and the normalization to the value shown by the first member is not possible, we have not plotted these values here.The c , b and a variants from Fig. Let us begin the discussion of the trends in the first ionization potential. Placement of H over Li and He over Be leads to the following picture: the normalized I P drops considerably between H and Li and between He and Be emphasizing the well-known substantial discrepancy between the properties of elements from Period 1 and Period 2 , and then drops more smoothly for the subsequent periods only Period 7 elements slightly bend this trend as compared to their Period 6 counterparts due to well-known relativistic effects.Similar trends is seen for Groups 17 and 18, albeit the fall of normalized I P is not as dramatic recall, we now start with Period 2 elements, F and Ne, as the first members of their series. Remarkably, Group 1 and Group 2 elements show quantitatively very similar behaviour, so do Group 17 and Group 18 elements. This emphasizes the fact that for the former it is the s shell which is ionized, while for the latter it is the p shell.Precisely this argument has been used by Bent Bent who was fierce advocate of situation C in Fig. If, however, we accept that H should be placed together with halogens while helium should join other noble gases, the picture of normalized I P changes substantially.Although the normalized I P values fall as before with the increase of the Period number, yet there appear marked quantitative differences between the first two groups of elements Groups 1 and 2 , as well as between the latter two Groups 17 and  Finally, if we decide to follow the traditional placement with H in Group 1 and He in Group 18, the discrepancies between the trends seen for Group and Group 2 are even larger than in the previously discussed case.The supplemental analysis of the normalized E A concerns two major situations: H is placed in Group or in Group  The placement of He does not matter here since its E A is null, and therefore it fits either Group 2 with Be showing the same value or Group 18 Ne having the same feature.Among the two situations the one with H placed in Group 1 seems more natural, as the normalized E A value drops slowly for Group 1 elements again, except the reversed trend from Period 6 to Period 7 due to relativistic effects. However, if H is placed in Group 17, as advocated by some, the normalized E A skyrockets up to nearly 5, since the values for F and Cl are much larger than that for H. Thus, the traditional placement of H in Group 1 does indeed have more pros than cons, and more supporters.Taking this altogether, it seems that placement of H over Li and He over Be leads to the most balanced picture, with natural trends for both the normalized I P and the normalized E A as one goes down the four respective Groups of the Periodic Chart.So, what do we have to lose by placing He over Be? Some Pros and Cons are displayed in Table 1. As it may be seen in Table 1 , there are a few Pros as well as some Cons against the placement of He in Group 2. Simultaneously, in the traditional constructions of the periodic Chart Fig. However, among numerous Pros for placing He above Be, one notices that such placement reproduces consistently the large gap between properties of Period 1 and 2 elements.In other words, nonmetals open Groups 1 and 2 where mostly metals reside. Hydrogen is as much an alkali metal as helium is an alkali earth metal as Fig. As Schwarz has insightfully put it in his e-mail exchange with this author , there are as many versions of the Table as many features you expected to be assembled, rationalized, and taught to students.This is definitely true. There is no single way to solve this puzzle. So I am following personal idiosyncrasies here. Footnote 2 What an experimentalist in me expects from the Periodic Table when I teach students, is that—aside from its key feature, periodicity—I may easily follow the trends of element properties as I go down the Group.And that they will make qualitative and semi-quantitative sense while relativistic effects may be blamed for small deviations seen for the heaviest elements. And as a computational chemist, I value clear separation of elements with s, and p shells being systematically occupied by electrons. Thus, to my personal taste, Periodic chart should look like in Fig. My impression was that you like the so-called left-step or Janet form of the Periodic Table PT , which fulfills one of the three requirements on PTs 1.A drawback of this form is that the physical origin and background of the chemical trends is less well reproduced. Of course, the final decision on the preferred form of the PT depends on the relative weights, one puts on the criteria of beauty and chemistry. The presented manuscript received valuable comments during the peer-review process.They represent interesting and critical point of view. Some of them are given below, together with the responses from the author. R:: There is some feeling of unreality about the debate where to put He, both in this paper and in general discussions in the literature. The viability of the Periodic Table lies in its being an organizational paper tool for similarities that accepts differences. However, the major effort beyond creation of the Table was driven by quest for similarities and not for differences.Only after the similarities helped to build the Table, one could dwell into differences. This author claims simply that more essential similarities are better revealed by placement of He in Group 2. But there are certain, rare but important, properties, such as the very notion of inertness, which are better reflected by traditional placement of He. Difference is accepted as one goes down the Table, why not accept it as one goes up, as is the case with He? This is important argument.However, the departure from trends in chemical properties for heavy elements as one goes down the Group are well understood based on the impact of relativistic effects. However, important trends do not change for the lightest Group members, hence if we start accepting that for He, we may rebuild the entire Periodic Table to accept even more.Personally, I dislike such post-modernistic possibility. The second person to isolate, but not typify, them was William Francis  Francis noted the formation of gas while dissolving uranium minerals in acid. In , John William Strutt discovered that chemically-obtained pure nitrogen was less dense than the nitrogen isolated from air samples. From this breakthrough, he concluded that another, unknown gas was present in the air. With the aid of William Ramsay, Strutt managed to replicate and modify Cavendish's experiment to better understand the inert component of air in his original experiment.The researchers' procedure differed from the Cavendish procedure: they removed the oxygen by reacting it with copper, and removed the nitrogen in a reaction with magnesium. The remaining gas was properly characterized and the new element was named "argon," which originates from the Greek word for "inert. Helium was first discovered in , manifesting itself in the solar spectrum as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of  This discovery was made by Pierre Jansen.Jansen initially assumed it was a sodium line. However, later studies by Sir William Ramsay who isolated helium on Earth by treating a variety of rare elements with acids confirmed that the bright yellow line from his experiment matched up with that in the spectrum of the sun.From this, British physicist William Crookes identified the element as helium. These three noble gases were discovered by Morris W. Travers and Sir William Ramsay in  Ramsay discovered neon by chilling a sample of the air to a liquid phase, warming the liquid, and capturing the gases as they boiled off.Krypton and xenon were also discovered through this process. In , while studying the decay chain of radium, Friedrich Earns Dorn discovered the last gas in Group radon. In his experiments, Dorn noticed that radium compounds emanated radioactive gas. This gas was originally named niton after the Latin word for shining, "nitens".All isotopes of radon are radioactive. Radon has the longest half-life at less than 4 days, and is an alpha-decay product of Radium part of the U to Pb radioactive decay chain. For covalently-bonded diatomic and polyatomic gases, heat capacity arises from possible translational, rotational, and vibrational motions.Because monatomic gases have no bonds, they cannot absorb heat as bond vibrations. Because the center of mass of monatomic gases is at the nucleus of the atom, and the mass of the electrons is negligible compared to the nucleus, the kinetic energy due to rotation is negligible compared to the kinetic energy of translation unlike in di- or polyatomic molecules where rotation of nuclei around the center of mass of the molecule contributes significantly to the heat capacity.For monatomic gases at a given temperature, the average kinetic energy due to translation is practically equal regardless of the element. Therefore at a given temperature, the heavier the atom, the more slowly its gaseous atoms move.The mean velocity of a monatomic gas decreases with increasing molecular mass, and given the simplified heat capacity situation, noble gaseous thermal conductivity decreases with increasing molecular mass. Helium is used as a component of breathing gases due to its low solubility in fluids or lipids. This is important because other gases are absorbed by the blood and body tissues when under pressure during scuba diving.Because of its reduced solubility, little helium is taken into cell membranes; when it replaces part of the breathing mixture, helium causes a decrease in the narcotic effect of the gas at far depths. The reduced amount of dissolved gas in the body means fewer gas bubbles form, decreasing the pressure of the ascent. Helium and Argon are used to shield welding arcs and the surrounding base metal from the atmosphere.The name "krypton" is derived from the Greek word kryptos , meaning "hidden" which has nothing to do with the home planet of Superman. Krypton is used in some "neon" lights, producing a violet color when electricity is passed through it.Radioactive kyrypton is produced in nuclear reactors and nuclear processing plants; monitoring krypton in the atmosphere allowed the United States to monitor how much nuclear material the Soviet Union was using. Xenon is a colorless, odorless, unreactive gas which liquefies at  It is found in the Earth's crust at a concentration of 2 ppt, making it the 83rd most abundant element; it is found in the atmosphere at a concentration of 90 ppb by volume. Xenon which is used commercially is extracted from liquid air by fractional distillation.Xenon was also discovered by Ramsay and Travers in  The name is derived from the Greek word for "stranger," xenos. Xenon lights glow with a blue light, and also emits some low-frequency ultraviolet light. Xenon lights are used in tanning beds, biocidal lamps used in food preparation, car headlights, flash lighting on cameras, strobe lights used in high-speed photography, and has been tested for use in space travel in ion-propulsion engines such as the experimental NASA spacecraft Deep Space 1.Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas which liquefies at  It is found in the Earth's crust in only trace amounts, and is one of the ten least abundant elements; it is found in the atmosphere at a concentration of 10 -9 ppt by volume. Radon was discovered in by Friederich Ernst Dorn while investigating "radium emanation" first observed by Marie and Pierre Curie , a gas found in sealed vessels of radium. The name is a variation on the name of the element radium.It is produced in the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium, which in a series of steps decay into radium, which then undergoes alpha-decay to produce radon.The most common isotopes of radon are radon and radon, which have half-lives of  Although chemically unreactive, when radon is produced, it can escape from the ground in the gas form, and collect in basements, or other contained areas. Radon is an alpha-particle emitter; while alpha particles can be blocked easily, if the radon gas is inhaled, and undergoes alpha decay in the lungs, it produces an isotope of polonium, which is a solid, as are all of its decay products, some of which have half-lives of over 20 years.John Emsley, The Elements , 3rd edition.
