Every atom has a symbol and some are easy to figure out. Especially if you already know its name.
But what do you do when you only know its atomic number? Like... what is the atom symbol whose atomic number is 36?
The answer is Krypton (Kr). However there are a lot of interesting facts about Krypton that people don't know. Let me show you:
