Why is alkane chemically inert?

Alkanes are not very reactive because of the stability of their bonds. The carbon hydrogen bonds found in alkanes are virtually nonpolar. Also, carbon and hydrogen have no lone pairs of electrons. This means that they are not subject to attack by nucleophiles or electrophiles.


Why glass is chemically inert?

Glass is Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) Silicon is unreactive chemically because an oxide layer seals the surface from attack, and high temperatures are required for oxidation to occur. Silicon does, however, react with fluorine at room temperature. It is not attacked by aqueous acids, but does react with concentrated alkalis. Source: google


What is boron and its uses?

Boron is a Group 13 element that has properties which are borderline between metals and non-metals (semimetallic). It is a semiconductor rather than a metallic conductor. Chemically it is closer to silicon than to aluminium, gallium, indium, and thallium. Crystalline boron is inert chemically and is resistant to attack by boiling HF or HCl. When finely divided it is attacked slowly by hot concentrated nitric acid

What is importance of water bottle in first aid?

A water bottle means that a casualty can have a drink of water (in a controlled sipping manner) if conscious. It also helps to be used to initially wash an area round the wound of grit and debris, followed up with an antiseptic solution. Also, in the case of an acid or alkaline attack, having a bottle of water helps to wash and dilute the acid or alkaline substance and reduce the injury the casualty may suffer.
