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.
Is gold an inert metal?
Inert is a state of doing little to nothing. In relation to metals, an inert metal is a metal that is not reactive. Gold can react with other things so it is not inert.
What is the most explosive inert gas?
none, they are inert and can't explode.
What is the density of INERT gas?
That depends on what inert gas you're taling about.
Is polonium an inert gas?
No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
Is CO2 inert gas?
CO₂ is an acidic oxide. Whether or not CO₂ can be considered "inert gas" depends on a number of factors. The most obvious of which being phase. Dry ice, for instance, is solid CO₂ & can't very well be considered an "inert gas". At temperatures below 300C, gaseous CO₂ can be considered "inert gas" as is commonplace in the food industry. However, at higher pressures CO₂ & H₂O combine to form aqueous H₂CO₃ (carbonated water). Also, gaseous CO₂ is readily broken down into component elements during photosynthesis. At temperatures exceeding 300C a reaction occurs between CO₂ & hydrogen know as the Sabatier reaction. Elemental hydrogen exists only in trace quantities within Earth's atmosphere, so this reaction is quite rare outside the lab. CO₂ is often mistakenly called "inert gas" by those in the welding industry. CO₂ is actually an 'active shielding gas' in this context as the welding arc causes electron dissociation, converting CO₂ into carbon monoxide & oxygen. The released oxygen generates heat, thus making CO₂'s role "active". Meanwhile, excess CO₂ "shields" the molten 'puddle' from unwanted atmospheric gas. Adding argon to the mix creates a 'semi-inert shielding gas', but that's for another lesson. Generally speaking, the only truly 'inert gases' are group 18 (noble gasses) & even they have their limits.

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?
no oxygen is not a inert gas
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
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.
How do you use inert in a sentence?
Helium is an inert gas, and seldom reacts with other elements. After the explosion, they discovered the inert bodies of the two guards. The inert Lunar Rover is still parked at the landing site of Apollo 17, awaiting a new battery and a new driver.
Is gold an inert metal?
Inert is a state of doing little to nothing. In relation to metals, an inert metal is a metal that is not reactive. Gold can react with other things so it is not inert.
What is inert substance?
a inert gas is one that doesnt respond
