Radon (Rn) is a noble gas located in Group 18 of the periodic table. Based on this information, we can evaluate the properties listed:
A. **synthetic** - Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, so it is not synthetic.
B. **radioactive** - Radon is indeed radioactive; it is known for its radioactive isotopes, particularly radon-222.
C. **nonreactive** - As a noble gas, radon is generally nonreactive under normal conditions.
D. **gas at room temperature** - Radon is a gas at room temperature because, like other noble gases, it remains in the gaseous state at standard temperature and pressure.
Since radon is naturally occurring, the property that does not apply to radon is **A. synthetic**.
A. **synthetic** - Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, so it is not synthetic.
B. **radioactive** - Radon is indeed radioactive; it is known for its radioactive isotopes, particularly radon-222.
