Bromine, as a group 17 halogen, is extremely reactive
Xenon is a noble gas. It is chemically inert (or non-reactive).
Lithium.
No. Both helium and argon are chemically inert.
Xenon is less reactive. Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.
stable and chemically nonreactive, or inert.
Unstable isotopes can be chemically reactive.
No. helium is chemically inert
Noble gases are chemically inert. They have completely filled orbitals, hence are generally non-reactive (or chemically inert).
Xenon is a noble gas. It is chemically inert (or non-reactive).
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.
Lithium.
No. Both helium and argon are chemically inert.
non-reactive with other substances. The term inert means non-reactive. We refer to gases as being chemically inert if their atoms don't combine with other atoms in chemical reactions.
No. Fluorine is the most reactive halogen. It forms compounds even with some inert gases.
Xenon is less reactive. Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.
