Can inert gases be stored with oxidizing gases?
No, inert gases should not be stored with oxidizing gases. Inert gases like nitrogen or argon are used to displace oxygen in storage containers to prevent combustion or oxidation reactions. Storing them with oxidizing gases could lead to potential fire or explosion hazards.
Why were the noble gases at one time called the inert gases?
Noble gases are gases and have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and called inert gases.
What is one of a group of elements that seldom combine with others?
The noble or inert gases.
Which of the following is not one of the six inert gases?
Carbon is not one of the inert gasses. Actually, anything other than He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn would be a correct answer.
What is the opposite of 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.
What are 2 inert gases that can be used to extinguish fires?
I know that one is Co2, but I don't know the other one. Sorry.
What are krypton's properties?
Krypton is an inert gas, which does not engage in chemical reactions; it is also one of the heavier inert (or noble) gases. Other than that, it is colorless, odorless, and very inconspicuous. It was actually quite hard for chemists even to find it, hence the name krypton, meaning hidden.
What are substances with which argon combines with?
Argon is one of the Noble Gases, so it is inert, meaning it has a full outer shell and therefore never combines with any other element. The noble gases are also called the inert gases. The six noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They are members of group 18 of the periodic table (right side). They are odorless, colorless gases
What group in the periodic table is the most inert?
As far as "inert gases" (noble gases), the heaviest is the radioactive gas radon (atomic number 86, only natural isotope 222Ra).Referring to "inert" precious metals, the heaviest is gold (atomic number 79). Precious metals are not non-reactive and may either oxidize or dissolve in acids.
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.
How many electrons does neon have in its outer shell?
Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.
Where are Inert Gases located on the periodic table?
Group 18. Group 18. AKA: Group 8A
