What element is nonreactive and discovered as a pure element?
Helium
Which elements are nonreactive gas?
Noble gases Eg:-Helium,Neon,Argon,Xenon,Radon
Is helium argon krypton or neon a weaker Van der Waals force?
Helium, argon, krypton, and neon are elements that are nonreactive noble gases, not Van der Waals forces.
What is the rectivity of the noble gases in terms of valence electrons?
Noble gases are also known as the inert gases, meaning they don't react because they have a stable octet (eight electrons in their valence shell). They all have eight electrons in their valence shell with the exception of helium because helium is rebel, but they are all nonreactive including helium.
What happens when you put neon gas and helium gas together?
Nothing. Helium and CO2 are non reactive with each other. Helium is a noble gas and not reactive at all. This mixture is used as a welding shield to minimize slag, and if oxygen is also included it is used as a deep diving air mix.
Is helium a chemical energy?
Helium is a nonreactive element called a noble gas.
What happens when you mix hydrogen and helium?
Nothing will happen. Helium is completely nonreactive.
What element is nonreactive and discovered as a pure element?
Helium
Do sulfur and helium have similar chemical properties?
No they do not. Sulfur is a reactive solid, while helium is a nonreactive gas.
What element is nonreactive but only has 2 valence electrons?
Helium, it is the most inert gas (element ) of all.
Is Neon a nonreactive element?
Yes, it is after helium the 2nd lightest noble gas.
What are 3 Gasses Besides Helium That Will Not Burn?
all of the noble gases are nonreactive. Neon, argon, krypton, xenon, helium, and radon.

What is nonreactive gases?
a nonreactive gas is a gas that does not react with any other element. you can find these nonreactive gases in the group 0 of the periodic table.
