∙ 12y agoAn inert element is part of the Group 18(0) family of elements on the Periodic Table that are known as the Inert Gases. They reside on the right hand side of the periodic table and they all (exc. Helium) have 8 electrons in their outer shell. The other main characteristics of Inert Gases (exc. Radon) is that they are highly unreactive.

mercury is an inert gas having 8 valence electrons
What family of elements is inert?
Noble gas family consisting of Helium, Neon, Argon,Krypton, Xenon and Radon is inert. They have stable electronic configuration and hence they are inert and non-reactive.
What is the definition of the word inert?
Inert has two common definitions. The most common is simply something that is not very active, I am inert in my bed. However, it also has a scientific definition when referring to gases that do not react to combustion, e.g. helium is an inert gas.
What is the definition Inert?
The word "inert" is used to describe something that is in a state of doing nothing. In terms of chemistry, a substance is inert if it is not chemically reactive.
What is an element definition that starts with the letter l that stands for unreactive?
Inert.
What is the opposite of inert gas?
The dictionary definition opposite of "inert" is "reactive". Well, "reactive" would be the best one. ^___^"
What is the difference between inert and other than inert gas?
Inert means they don't react. Group 18, the noble gases, are inert.
What happens if you replace inert gas in glass bulb of electric lamb by nitrogen gas?
inert gas inert gas inert gas
Is oxygen inert?

What is a sentence using the word inert?
The inert gas had no effect on the experiment. The bomb was inert and failed to explode.
Is Gold chemically active or inert?
Gold is active, or at least not inert. Only the noble gases are inert.
Is argon an inert gas?
argon is an inert gas
Is CO inert?
Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.
Which group of the periodic table do exceptionally inert gases belong and why are they inert?
group 18 elements. they are inert because they have completely filled orbitals and and stable or chemically inert.
