Why are noble gas called inert gas?

Answer 1

Nitrogen is typically inert for most common uses. Only the noble gases (8A) are truly inert, though they are rare.

Nitrogen is a diatomic in natural state, meaning that two nitrogen atoms are stuck together. This configuration gives both atoms enough electrons to fulfill the octet. In order to get the nitrogen to react with anything the bond must be broken.

Since reaction (usually) happen spontaneously when a lower energy state results, it is unlikely for the nitrogen to break on its own.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

• Argon is a noble gas.
• Argon is a chemical element with symbol Ar and atomic number 18.
• Its electron configuration is 2, 8, and 8.
• Accordingly, its last shell is full (8 electrons) that doesn't allow the element to be involved in chemical reactions.

Answer 4

i doo not know this answer, it is to adavv

Answer 5

Argon is an inert gas because it is one of the noble gases. A main characteristic of noble gases are that they are non-reactive. On the Periodic Table, the noble gases are in group 18.

Answer 6

noble gases are the same thing as inert gas they are called this because the appear in the 18 group in the periodic table>

Answer 7

as they are all nonreactive gases. they will no react with anything
