Can inert gases be stored with oxidizing gases?
An inert gas is one that won't react with other gases. You can store inert gases with any other gases - oxygen (an oxidizing gas) and argon (an inert gas) are commonly stored together in industrial settings.
The noble gases are inert This means they?
inert means they are not reactive gases. (:
What is the inert gas that's lighter than air?
There are two problems with this question, one is that inert gas is more than one substance and the second is that so is air. Air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon and other gases. The best way to determine its mass is to take an average between these components. Next, what's an inert gas? Strictly speaking, the inert gases are the noble gases, which are the elements in group 0 of the periodic table. They are helium, neon, krypton, radon, xenon and argon. Hang on..., isn't argon in air? Helium is the lightest inert gas and as anyone who has seen a helium balloon can testify, it is lighter than air. The further down group 0 you go, towards the likes of xenon and radon, the heavier they get. From krypton onwards, they are all heavier than air except.... ... except that all of the noble gases, or the inert gases, can be found in air, in very small amounts. So in a weird way, if you're asking if inert gases are heavier than air, you're asking if they're heavier than themselves. But to put it in the simplest terms, there is more than one inert gas. Helium can be considered an example of an inert gas that is lighter than air, whereas xenon can be considered an example of one that is heavier.
What are the differences between atmospheric nitrogen and laboratory nitrogen?
Chemical nitrogen 1 it is pure as it does not have any inert gases. 2 it is lighter compared to atmospheric nitrogen. 3 it is highly reactive. Atmospheric nitrogen 1 it has 1% inert gases. 2 it is heavier than chemical nitrogen due to the dust particles. 3 it is less reactive because of the inert gases.
What are inert gases?
Inert gases are the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn). They used to be called the inert gases until Neil Bartlett proved that you could make compounds out of some of them, so they were renamed "inert" gases.
What is the percentage of inert gases in atmosphere?
there is 1.25 percent of inert gases in the atmosphere
What is another word for chemically nonreactive?
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
What is the percentage of inert gases the atmosphere?
there is 1.25 percent of inert gases in the atmosphere
The inert gases can also be called what?
Inert gases can also be called noble gases. An example is Helium.
Is neon a part of the noble gases family or the inert gases family?
Yes. Neon is a part of noble gases (or inert gases)
What are some other names for Noble gases?
Another name for noble gases is inert gases.
Why are the elements helium argon and neon called inert gases?
As we all know that noble gases are also called INERT GASES, so the subgroup VIII of GROUP 'A' contains only noble gases and inert gases so helium and neon are also in VIII-A so they are inert gases.
