The inert gases are those elements in group 18 of the periodic table; helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They are inert because their valence shells are full, so they are very unreactive. All elements are pure elements in that each element is composed of atoms with the same number of protons (atomic number).

What elements are inert gas often made of?
Inert gases contain elements that aren't likely to chemically react. Noble gases are the best candidates, since their valence electron shell is completed and thus are really unlikely to react with another atom, but nitrogen (which isn't a noble gas) also is a good inert gas.
What are some other names for Noble gases?
Another name for noble gases is inert gases.
What is the atom called if the outer shell is full of electrons?
A full outer electron shell, the so-called valence shell, creates an inert gas in those elements (the inert or noble gases). In other elements, what is called "inert gas configuration" will apear in the Halogens (the Group 17 elements) and some Group 16 elements. When they "borrow" an electron or electrons in an ionic bond, they do so to achieve "inert gas configuration" by "filling" their valence shell with the borrowed electrons.
What is the density of INERT gas?
That depends on what inert gas you're taling about.
Is CO inert?
Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.
What has an inert gas?
An inert gas will be an element. Elements are also pure substances and will not contain or "have" others within it. There are a variety of inert gases, see related question below.

Why helium is inert gas?
helium does not form bond with any other elements. hence it is an inert gas.
How does Argon combine with other elements?
it doesn't. it is inert gas.
Does argon combine with other elements?
it doesn't. it is inert gas.
How many elements are inert gases?
Six noble gases (group 18), and Nitrogen (N2) gas are all inert. They are all different elements, so: 7
Is helium used pure or is it part of a compound?
Helium is used as it is/pure. Helium is an inert gas and does not form part of compounds.
What elements are used in lightbulbs?
Tungsten and an inert gas can be found inside of a light bulb.
What happens if you replace inert gas in glass bulb of electric lamb by nitrogen gas?
inert gas inert gas inert gas
If a gas is not inert what is it?
Every gas is not an inert gas except for the elements helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Hope this answer helped!
What elements is stable A neon B carbon C boron Dfluorine?
neon, as it is an inert gas.
What does it mean helium is an inert gas?
it means that helium does not react with any other elements / compounds.
