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.


What is An inert gas with a greater atomic mass then helium?

Helium is the lightest noble gas, so neon, argon, krypton and xenon are all heavier noble gases. Radon's also a noble gas and it's heavier than helium, but it's radioactive so is it really inert?
