SUMMARY
The melting points of inert gas crystals Neon, Argon, Krypton, and Xenon are critical for understanding their physical properties. Neon melts at 24.703K (-248.447°C), Argon at 83.96K (-189.19°C), Krypton at 115.93K (-157.22°C), and Xenon at 161.5K (-111.7°C). These gases are colorless in their gaseous state and are presumed to remain colorless as solids. For projects involving the Bulk Modulus and Energy variation of these crystals using Lennard-Jones Potential, accurate data at 0 Kelvin is essential, particularly for cell constants and cohesive energy.
