A dissecting aortic aneurysm occurs when the inner layers of the aorta become separated.

Argon gas is used in fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs to stop the oxygen in the light bulbs from corroding the hot tungsten filament.

The use of argon in light bulbs prevents the evaporation of the tungsten filaments, which results in increased light bulb life.

Argon is also used to create an inert atmosphere for growing semiconductor crystals, arc welding and for processes that need protection from other kinds of atmospheric gases.

Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms. Atoms are more stable when they have full valence shells.

The ionization energy decreases from top to bottom in groups, and increases from left to right across a period.

HGence, in this trend Francium (Fr) has the lowest ionization energy.

Level 1 cache is internal to the chip, Level 2 is external.
