Yes plastic is chemically inert , meaning that it is non reactive , so that you can store things in it with out it reacting like soaps , achohol and acid,however this means that it is hard to dispose and it dosnt decay

∙ 12y agoMercury isn't very reactive but it is in no way chemically inert. It reacts with sulphur fairly readily and so sulphur is used to treat mercury spills. It reacts with oxygen to make the fetching red dye, cinnabar. And it reacts readily with the group 7 elements, fluorine, chlorine and bromine.
But it is one of the less reactive metals, demonstrated by its nearness to gold and platinum in the transition metals of the Periodic Table.

Is argon chemically inert?
yes argon is chemically inert because its valence shell is complete.
Is Gold chemically active or inert?
Gold is active, or at least not inert. Only the noble gases are inert.
What is another word for chemically nonreactive?
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
Is xenon flamable?
Xenon is chemically inert. So it is not flammable
Why is argon an inert substance?
Argon is a noble gas. It has completely filled valence orbitals, is stable and hence chemically inert.
Is argon chemically inert?
yes argon is chemically inert because its valence shell is complete.
Is Carbon chemically active or inert?
Covalent Bond. Chemically Active. The only elements that are inert are group 18, or 8A.
Noble gases are chemically?
Noble gases are chemically inert. They have completely filled orbitals, hence are generally non-reactive (or chemically inert).
What is the term for not chemically active?
inert
Is Charcoal powder chemically inert?
no
Are unstable isotopes chemically inert?
Unstable isotopes can be chemically reactive.
Is Gold chemically active or inert?
Gold is active, or at least not inert. Only the noble gases are inert.
What is another word for chemically nonreactive?
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
Is polonium an inert gas?
No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
Is plutonium chemically inert?
Plutonium is not an inert chemical element, plutonium is very active.
