What would be the consequences of a planet having a core predominantly made of Krypton?

So I'm currently working on a fan project to redesign Superman's home planet of Krypton.

This new Krypton is 1.6x the size of Earth and orbits the red dwarf star known to us as LHS-2520, 27.1 lightyears from Earth.

In an attempt to give a lot of geographical detail to Krypton, I considered making the planet's core predominantly comprised of Krypton which is as an element is not nearly as dense as the elements that make up Earth's Core and it is fairly rare. It would be impossible for a planet to form from Krypton naturally but if it could, what would the results be.

Could a planet function with this type of core and what features would it have?
