Default Where does Krypton come from?

I was looking at the composition of Earth's atmosphere relative to
solar.

If one looks at non-radiogenic argon compared to silicon, the
depletion
factor is around 11 billion. For krypton and xenon, 1.8 and 2.2
million
respectively. The three gases should be linearly related by their
volatilities, so it's obvious that there's a huge excess of krpyton
above
expectation. There's an important radiogenic isotope of xenon, but
none
of krypton, right?

So where does all the krypton come from?

It seems he ran out of it though...
Do you have any idea wherefrom he got his Kriptonite ?

Great stuff indeed !

according tomy nuclear model

it i s most likely to come from ...........

Bromine

see my nuclear and Atomic model

Thanks.
Amazing coincidence.
May be Superman is trapped down in that Kriptonite mine ?

but i think that the OP asked about
Krypton **Gas ** isnt that so ???

TIA

So where does all the krypton come from?


http://www.enotes.com/how-products-encyclopedia/krypton
.... it has a large number of stable isotopes, so it is easy to decay
into a stable state. It is on the decay chains of uranium and
thorium.

Remember that we capture stuff from solar wind (even noble gases
ionize), and we have the equivalent of a nuclear reactor at Earth's
core.

QUOTE
The amount of krypton in space is uncertain as is the amount is
derived from the meteoritic activity and that from solar winds. The
first measurements suggest an overabundance of krypton in space.

Maybe it's just a very thin liquid.
