Alternative text (alt text) is meant for readers who cannot see an image, such as blind readers and readers who use a text or mobile browser. It should summarize an image's purpose, and should not duplicate its caption. Every image should have alt text, except for purely decorative images, which should instead have "|alt=|link=".

| A line spectrum chart of the visible spectrum showing sharp lines on top.
Helium was first detected in the Sun due to its characteristic spectral lines.
|
| A graph of ionization energy vs. atomic number showing sharp peaks for the noble gas atoms.
This is a plot of ionization potential versus atomic number. The noble gases, which are labeled, have the largest ionization potential for each period.
|
| An atomic shell diagram with neon core, 2 electrons in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
Neon, like all noble gases, has a full valence shell. Noble gases have eight electrons in the outermost shell, except in the case of helium, which has two.
