The elements that are almost completely unreactive are the noble gases in group 18.
Inert gases. This was a common term for them until the first reaction between a noble gas and another material was discovered a few decades ago.
Metals and nonmetals are shaped to suit the task in hand. They may be almost any shape.

Inert Gases
Noble gases (group 18) are the almost nonreactive elements. Group 1 elements are the most reactive metals. Group 17 elements are the most reactive non-metals.
Inert gases. This was a common term for them until the first reaction between a noble gas and another material was discovered a few decades ago.
All or almost all of the nonmetal and metalloid elements that are not noble gases have this property. All the halogens, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon all form many compounds with other elements as well as polyatomic allotropes of the elements themselves at standard temperature and pressure.
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."

The Group 0 elements are called the noble gases. These are the six gases that are almost completely inert. Since they do not lose or gain any electrons, their valence is 0.
N2 is a very stable, nonreactive , non-polar gas so is almost insoluble in water.
No, they are entirely separate elements. Oxygen is a highly reactive element, due to its' structure, and is found in many compounds including water, sugar, proteins, gasolines, etc. Argon is one of the "noble gases," and is almost totally nonreactive. Argon has 10 more protons and electrons than oxygen, and so weighs almost twice as much.
The elements in group 8 - the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon) - are completely unreactive, as they have a complete outermost energy level ie. a perfect electron configuration.
Neon is a nonreactive gas. As it is a gas, it would only be found naturally (on earth) as a liquid if it were cooled down a LOT. There is no gas that is more dense than a liquid. Also, being nonreactive, neon doesn't bond with other elements without a LOT of energy, and even then, it is extremely unstable, so it would almost always be found as a gas. So, neon would be found in the air, or in gas pockets underground.
The three continents that are completely or almost completely within the Northern Hemisphere are North America, Europe, and Asia. Africa is the only continent that spans both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
