What are the characteristics of Argon?
Argon is a very stable element, and isn't very reactive.
Why argon very stable and not reactive?
Because the valency shell for its electrons is full.
Of the gases oxygen argon chlorine and neon which 2 would be the most chemically reactive?
The elements from most reactive to least reactive are: Chlorine, Oxygen, Argon, and Neon.
Of the gases oxygen argon chlorine and neon which would be the two most chemically reactive?
The elements from most reactive to least reactive are: Chlorine, Oxygen, Argon, and Neon.
Is argon the least reactive gas?
No, it is not.
Argon is a highly reactive gas true or false?
No, argon is not a highly reactive gas. It is stable.
What are the characteristics of Argon?
Argon is a very stable element, and isn't very reactive.
Why argon very stable and not reactive?
Because the valency shell for its electrons is full.
How does argon react?
Argon is a noble gas, and very non-reactive. Argon fluorohydride, HArF has been synthesized, but is only stable at very low temperatures.
Is sodium or argon more reactive and why?
Argon has completely filled valence orbitals and hence is unreactive. Sodium has one valence electron. If sodium loses this electron it will attain the stable electron configuration of the nearest noble gas (argon) and hence is reactive.
Is calcium a noble gas?
Argon (atomic number 18) is the noble gas that is nearest to calcium (atomic number 20)
What makes calcium unstable?
calcium is not stable because the outer most atomic level is not full the only elements that are stable are the nobel gasses(helium,neon,argon,krypton,xenon,and radon)
Is calcium stable?
Calcium is pretty reactive and is not stable in air; it fairly rapidly corrodes, forming calcium oxide (it's reactive enough to even react to some degree with elemental nitrogen, which is generally fairly inert, forming calcium nitride as well). It's also flammable, though somewhat difficult to ignite.If you meant in the radioactive sense, there are five stable isotopes of calcium, and one (calcium-48) that's so long lived that it can be treated as stable for practical purposes, having a half-life of on the order of ten million million million years.
Is potassium more reactive than argon?
Yes you are correct, potassium being an alkali metal is definitely more reactive than argon which is a noble gas (group 18 element). Potassium reacts violently with just water while argon is very inert and stable, which is why it remains in the atmosphere as a monatomic element.
What is the name of the ion Ca2 plus?
Ca2+ is a cation formed by Calcium to become stable and attain the noble gas configuration of Argon. Calcium forms this cation by losing two electrons
Is francium reactive or stable?
reactive
Of the gases oxygen argon chlorine and neon which 2 would be the most chemically reactive?
The elements from most reactive to least reactive are: Chlorine, Oxygen, Argon, and Neon.
