Just doing my civic duty...

Weeeeeell, I suppose I should say that the Phillies won 4-3, clincing their world series victory 4-1 (games). I cry for you, Rays.
Element: Radon
Colorless radioactive gaseous element, belongs to the noble gases. Of the twenty known isotopes, the most stable is Rn-222 with a half-life of 3.8 days. Formed by the radioactive decay of Radium-226. Radon itself decays into polonium. Used in radiotherapy. As a noble gas, it is effectively inert, though radon fluoride has been synthesized. First isolated in 1908 by Ramsey and Gray.
