Helium is the only perfectly inert element, although there are several other inert elements which can be made to react with fluorine only with great difficulty, by the use of high temperature and pressure.

How do halogens react with air?

Halogens react with air to form metal halides. For example, chlorine will react with iron to form iron(III) chloride. Halogens are highly reactive and will readily form compounds with many elements in the air.


What does samarium react with?

Samarium can react with oxygen, water, and acids to form various compounds. It can also react with halogens such as chlorine and bromine to form halides.


What are the effects of halogens especially chlorine on the ozone?

halogens generally cause depletion of ozone. They react with ozone to deplete it.


Which group of p block elements react to form halides?

Group 17 elements, also known as the halogens, are the p block elements that react to form halides. They readily react with other elements to form salts called halides, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium iodide (KI).


Why Oxygen is react more slowly than halogens?

Oxygen does not react more slowly than all of the halogens, just some of them. Plus, the rate of a reaction depends on its nature, not just whether oxygen or a halogen reacts. when the halogens do react faster, this is because they only need one electron to have a stable configuration, whereas oxygen needs two.


What are the reaction of other elements from actinium?

Actinium can react with halogens, oxygen, hydrogen.


Under what conditions do alkanes and benzene react with halogens?

Alkanes react with halogens (e.g. chlorine or bromine) only in the presence of UV light or heat to form halogenated products. Benzene does not readily react with halogens like alkanes do due to its aromatic stability, but it can undergo halogenation in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst.


What is the family of elements that react readily with metals?

The family of elements that react readily with metals is the halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form compounds with metals by gaining an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Halogens combine with most metals to form salts?

That is correct. Halogens like chlorine, bromine, and iodine readily react with metals to form ionic compounds called salts. For example, sodium chloride (table salt) is formed when sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas.


Why are the halogens most likely to react with the noble gases?

Halogens are highly reactive elements because they have seven valence electrons and are only one electron away from achieving a stable electron configuration like the noble gases. This electronic configuration makes halogens more likely to react with noble gases to gain that missing electron and achieve stability by forming compounds.


What other elements react negatively with silver?

For example halogens and sulfur reacts with silver.


Which family is technetium most likely to react with?

Technetium react with oxygen, halogens, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, boron, carbon etc. and can form alloys with metals.Technetium is dissolved in inorganic acids excepting hydrochloric acid.
