This page provides supplementary data about the noble gases, which were excluded from the main article to conserve space and preserve focus. Oganesson mostly not included due to the amount of research known about it.
Helium is a non-toxic and non-combustible gas that is not harmful to humans or the environment. The safety of its employees and the communities in which it operates is always Freeport LNG’s highest priority. Freeport LNG is committed to the safe construction and operation of all its facilities. Helium is a noble gas because it is extremely difficult to entice it into compounding with anything. Once it gets its two customary electrons it is chemically satisfied. It’s a gas because its triple point is very low - so low that it doesn’t form a solid even under pressure. Noble gas, any of the seven chemical elements that make up Group 18 (VIIIa) of the periodic table. The elements are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn), and oganesson (Og). Are noble gases flammable? Helium is one of the most common elements in the universe. It is called a noble gas because it doesn’t chemically interact with elements. Its atomic number is 2 and the weight is 4.002. In its natural state, it doesn’t have any smell, taste or color. Common Uses of Helium Evidence shows that the human voice can be changed with a bit of helium. The gas is also used as light weight aircraft.

Radon is available only in very small quantities, and due to its short half-life, is generally produced by a radium-226 source in secular equilibrium.[22] Oganesson is almost impossible to produce and with a very short half life, it is generally not readily available for purchase.
