When water is allowed to freeze in-xA0-the presence of Ar- Kr or Xe under pressure- atoms of noble gas get trapped in the-xA0-crystal lattice of ice giving clathrates corresponding to the composition- 8G-46H2O -G - noble gas- These clathrates are also known as the noble gas hydrates-

When water is allowed to freeze in the presence of Ar, Kr or Xe under pressure, atoms of noble gas get trapped in the crystal lattice of ice giving clathrates corresponding to the composition, 8G.46H2O (G = noble gas). These clathrates are also known as the noble gas hydrates.
