The word "inert" is used to describe something that is in a state of doing nothing. In terms of chemistry, a substance is inert if it is not chemically reactive.
Inert has two common definitions. The most common is simply something that is not very active, I am inert in my bed. However, it also has a scientific definition when referring to gases that do not react to combustion, e.g. helium is an inert gas.
Inert.
Materials that are devoid of active properties and unable or unlikely to form compounds..
Inert means they don't react. Group 18, the noble gases, are inert.
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
The term is "inert." Inert substances do not react chemically with other substances.
The inert gas had no effect on the experiment. The bomb was inert and failed to explode.
Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.
The opposite of an inert gas would be a reactive gas. Inert gases are stable and do not readily react with other elements, while reactive gases are more likely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Examples of reactive gases include oxygen, chlorine, and fluorine.
Helium is an inert gas, and seldom reacts with other elements. After the explosion, they discovered the inert bodies of the two guards. The inert Lunar Rover is still parked at the landing site of Apollo 17, awaiting a new battery and a new driver.
the chemical element of number 10; an inert gaseous element of the noble gas group. It is obtained by the distillation of liquid air and is used in fluorescent lamps and signs
Inert means "still".
