It was discovered in 1894 and it was Argon.
In 1785 Henry Cavendish, an English chemist and physicist, found that air contains a small proportion (slightly less than 1 percent) of a substance that is chemically less active than nitrogen. A century later Lord Rayleigh, an English physicist, isolated from the air a gas that he thought was pure nitrogen, but he found that it was denser than nitrogen that had been prepared by liberating it from its compounds. He reasoned that his aerial nitrogen must contain a small amount of a denser gas. In 1894, Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist, collaborated with Rayleigh in isolating this gas, which proved to be a new element---argon.
What else can I help you with?
What is the term for not chemically active?
The term is "inert." Inert substances do not react chemically with other substances.
Atoms that are known as inert or noble rarely undergo reactions because?
Noble gases are non-reactive due to their stability. The outer most shell shoud have 8 electrons to be stable and all the elements in the eighth group have 8 electrons in their outer most shell so they do not need to take part in chemical reactions to become stable THAT is why they are non reactive!
What is inert tissue?
Inert tissue refers to tissues that are not actively metabolizing or undergoing any physiological functions within the body. These tissues are considered non-living or non-functional, such as hair and nails. Inert tissues do not play a direct role in maintaining the body's overall metabolic processes.
How does the body take out the gases which we don't need?
The lungs allow our blood to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and other gases. When we exhale, those gases are pushed out of our body.
What is the role of argon in air and how does it affect the composition of the atmosphere?
Argon is a noble gas found in the Earth's atmosphere. It makes up about 0.93 of the air we breathe. Argon is chemically inert, meaning it does not react with other elements. Its presence in the atmosphere helps maintain the overall composition and stability of the air. Argon does not play a significant role in the chemical reactions that occur in the atmosphere, but its presence is important for maintaining the balance of gases in the air.
Why are the inert gases called by this term?
The Noble gases were known as inert gases because it was believed that they were completely unreactive. This is no longer true as scientists have discovered compounds containing noble gas elements.
Why are noble gasses also known as inert gasses?
The noble gases were once called inert gases because until about 1960, no compounds of them had been discovered.
What is another word for chemically nonreactive?
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
When did William ramsay discovered argon?
He, and Lord Rayleigh, discovered it in 1894.
What are some other names for Noble gases?
Another name for noble gases is inert gases.
What are inert gases?
Inert gases are the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn). They used to be called the inert gases until Neil Bartlett proved that you could make compounds out of some of them, so they were renamed "inert" gases.
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.
What is the percentage of inert gases the atmosphere?
there is 1.25 percent of inert gases in the atmosphere
Is neon a part of the noble gases family or the inert gases family?
Yes. Neon is a part of noble gases (or inert gases)
Rare or inert gases are more commonly know as what?
The rare or inert gases are more commonly known as the noble gases.
What group number are the inert gases?
Elements belonging to group 18 are termed as the inert gases.
Gases in a light bulb?
Inert gases.
