What happens to noble gases when electricity flows through them?

Answer 1

They glow a certain color. Helium glows pink, Krypton glows dark blue, Argon glows light blue, Xenon glows purple, Neon glows orange, Radon and Ununoctium, well, no one knows their color because of their dangerous nature.

Answer 2

When electricity flows through noble gases, they become ionized, meaning their atoms lose or gain electrons to form charged particles called ions. This process can result in the gases emitting light, which is the basis for neon lights and other types of gas discharge lamps.

Answer 3

My chem is a bit rusty when it comes to the noble gases, but I believe they would be very un-responsive as they all have full outer elecron shells. This makes them 'lazy', ie: they are balanced on the outer and tend not to be 'compelled' to bond and fill their outer shell as it is full. Noble gases are stable, very unlikely to react.

edit: a notable point is that this lack of 'reacting' to electricity is actually how they were discovered in very early experiments.

Answer 4

Neon glows orange-red, elium glows pale yellow, argon glows purple, krypton glows violet white and xenon bluish-white. Radon and ununoctium glows when current pass through but because of being a radioactive noble gases, they are not mostly use
