Noble gases used to be called inert gases because until the 1960's no chemical compounds of a noble gas had been made hence they were believed to be completely inert.
Now compounds of argon, xenon radon have been made. These are all very reactive. Compounds of helium and neon have not yet been made.
What else can I help you with?
Nobel gas can also be called?
Nobel gases are also called inert gases because of their reluctance to combine with other substances.
What are Noble gases sometimes called?
inert gases
What are the noble gases sometimes called?
inert gases
Nobel gases are also known as the?
Inert gases
Why are nobel gases called inert gases?
Because before about 1950, the noble gases were not known to form any chemical compounds.
Are Nobel Gases very active?
No,they are not active.They are inert gases.
The noble gases are almost completely nonreactive for this reason they are sometimes called?
Inert Gases
What are the nobel gasses also called?
Noble gases are also called inert gases because they tend to be chemically nonreactive due to their stable electron configurations.
The group of elements with a full valence are called?
These elements are Nobel Gases in group 18.
What are the elements in Group 17-18 called?
Group 17 elements are called halogens, which include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Group 18 elements are called noble gases, which include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
The inert gases can also be called what?
Inert gases can also be called noble gases. An example is Helium.
What were noble gases first called?
inert gases
