It is a metal (alkali metal)
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.
There is Na+ and Cl- ions in the solution. Therefore, assuming the electrodes are inert, sodium ions will be discharged as sodium metal on the cathode and Chloride ions will be discharged from the anode as chlorine gas
To prevent potassium from reacting with oxygen, it should be stored under mineral oil or kerosene, which creates a barrier between the potassium and oxygen in the air. Additionally, keeping potassium in a vacuum or inert gas environment can also prevent it from reacting with oxygen.
Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.
Helium (He) is a noble (inert) gas placed in the group 18 of the Periodic Table.Helium falls in inert gas. It is stable and non-reactive.
Nothing will happen as neon is chemically inert.
The bonds between two atoms of nitrogen (78% of the atmosphere) in the N2 molecule make it inert for many purposes. However under high heat (lightning for example) it reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen compounds. Argon at 1% of the atmosphere is a noble gas and is inert under all atmospheric conditions.
Yes, helium is an inert gas.
a inert gas is one that doesnt respond
No, argon and potassium are not the same. They are two different elements on the periodic table with different physical and chemical properties. Argon is a noble gas with atomic number 18, while potassium is an alkali metal with atomic number 19.
No, also the so called inert gases can be obtained in liquid form. Inert had a chemical sense, especially in the past.
No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
