Far from it!!!
When mixed with oxygen it readily ignites , Remember the 'pop' test in the lab. for testing for hydrogen.
However, the next element on the peridoci table , which is helium (He) is the most inert elememnt of all.
The classic demonstration in the lab. is to have two balloons. one filled with hydrogen and one filled with helium.
Put a lighted(burning) taper to the hydrogen balloon and it will explode, with a flame flash
Put a lighted(burning) taper to the helium balloon and it will explode but no flame flash.
What else can I help you with?
What is the lightest inert?
Helium is the lightest inert gas. It is a monatomic gas with an average atomic weight of about 4. The only atom lighter than that is hydrogen - which forms a diatomic gas with molecular wight of about 2 - BUT - it is anything but inert! Hydrogen is highly flammable and a commonly used reactant for a lot of syntheses. The next lightest gas that is sort of inert is nitrogen - which is quite a bit heavier - at a molecular weight of about 14. (Nitrogen is not particularly reactive at room temperature so it is often used as an "inert" gas - even though it isn't really totally inert.) The next lightest noble gas is Neon - which, although it forms a monatomic gas, has an atomic wight of about 20 - even heavier than Nitrogen.
Why hydrogen is used carrier gas?
Hydrogen is used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography because it has good thermal conductivity, low density, and high diffusivity. This allows for high separation efficiency and faster analysis times. Additionally, hydrogen is inert and compatible with most detectors used in gas chromatography.
What are similar properties to Hydrogen?
Helium, a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic gas, has similar properties to hydrogen, including being the lightest gas, having low density, and being chemically inert. Both helium and hydrogen are commonly used in applications such as gas chromatography, cryogenics, and as lift gases in balloons.
5 letter inert gas?
Oxygen, helium, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane are five different gases.
Is ammonia an inert gas?
No, ammonia is not an inert gas. It is a colorless gas with a strong odor that is reactive and can act as a base in chemical reactions.
Is an inert gas and has one more proton than hydrogen?
The gas is helium. Helium is inert and has 2 protons, while hydrogen has 1 proton.
Names of all metals and their uses?
hydrogen-gas helium-inert gas lithium-atomic no.3
Is hydrogen or helium safer to use?
Generally speaking, helium is safer, as it is an inert gas, but Hydrogen is cheaper to make and is lighter.
Why is argon used as a shielding gas in some types of high temperature welding?
Argon is an inert gas, hydrogen is not. Hydrogen is flammable and would negatively impact the arc process.
Is hydrogen an inert gas?
No....It's outer energy level is not filled and therefore it is a reactive gas. Inert gases have a filled outer shell i.e. He, Ar, Kr, etc. which are the Noble gases in the far right hand column of the periodic table.. VIII

Can you make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas?
Yes, you can make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas. For example, if you run an electric current through Hydrogen and Oxygen, the product is Water, or H2O. Water is not an inert (noble) gas, so you can make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas.
Why helium gas is used in weather balloons but not hydrogen?
Because helium (He) is lighter than air and not flammable like Hydrogen (H) which is the lightest element.
Are there any known helium compounds?
No. It"s an inert gas,inert gases do not form compounds. Reactive gases(like Hydrogen ) do, like H-2-O or Hydrogen-Di-Oxide-better known as water.
Why is helium gas safer than hydrogen gas?
Because hydrogen is reactive and combines with oxygen, while helium is inert.
Why is hydrogen inert at room temperature?
Hydrogen is not inert it reacts explosively with Oxygen to create water H2O
