Radon, with an atomic number of 222, belongs to the group of elements called the noble gases, which means it is chemically inert and unreactive. At room temperature and pressure, 1 m³ (35 ft³) of radon would weigh 9.73 kg (21 lb 7 oz)– more than 100 times what 1 m³ (35 ft³) of hydrogen would weigh.
The heaviest non-elemental gas is tungsten hexafluoride, with a density of 13.1 kg/m³ (28 lb 14 oz/35 ft³).
