Table of Contributions
From collector no. 4
He Helium
Contributed by collector no. 4
Helium gas in an ampoule with a high voltage source next to it, which causes a beautiful pink and white glow. This is similar to how Neon lamps work.
Be Beryllium
Contributed by collector no. 4
One medium and 6 or 7 small beads of Beryllium in a bottle
N Nitrogen
Contributed by collector no. 4
A sample of Nitrogen gas in an ampoule with a high voltage source next to it, causing the Nitrogen inside to emit a beautiful pink-purple glow.
O Oxygen
Contributed by collector no. 4
Oxygen in an ampoule. Normally an invisible gas, Oxygen glows a faint white-blue when put under high voltage.
Contributed by collector no. 4
The Chalcogen group: Oxygen , Sulfur , Selenium , and Tellurium
F Fluorine
Contributed by collector no. 4
Roughly 30% concentration of Fluorine gas. The remaining 70% is probably Helium gas. Pure Fluorine has a very faint yellow color, but the low concentration makes it basically invisible.
Contributed by collector no. 4
The Halogen group: roughly 30% Fluorine gas, Chlorine gas, Bromine liquid and vapor, and Iodine pellets, all in ampoules
