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 are the products of the electrolysis of molten potassium chloride?

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


How do you stop potassium reacting with oxygen?

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.


Is CO inert?

Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.


What gas does helium falls in.?

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.


If potassium neon and iodine mix what happens to neon?

Nothing will happen as neon is chemically inert.


What is the most most common inert gas in the atmosphere?

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.


Is helium known as inert?

Yes, helium is an inert gas.

Is argon and potassium the same?

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.


Is noncondensable gas the as inert gas?

No, also the so called inert gases can be obtained in liquid form. Inert had a chemical sense, especially in the past.


Is polonium an inert gas?

No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
