Highly unreactive elements that will not chemically combine include:

Platinum (Pt)

Gold (Au)

Helium (He)

Argon (Ar)

Krypton (Xe)

Neon (Ne)

The first two are unreactive because they are at the bottom of the metals reactivity series. The rest are unreactive because they are part of the inert gases.

Second answer: Platinum and gold do react, but sparingly. Helium is the only one of the inert gases that has been shown never to react. The others form compounds (admittedly quite unstable ones).

What are elements that don't really react readily with other elements?

Generally, those are the elements in Group 18, called the noble gases.


Does helium and fluorine have a similar reaction?

Helium is inert and does not readily react with other elements, including fluorine. Fluorine is a highly reactive element and will readily react with many other elements, but not with helium due to its stable electron configuration.


Does Argon react with any elements?

It can react with Hydrogen, Litium and some unknown elements.


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.


Does silicon react readily with other elements?

Silicon is a non-metal element that is not very reactive. It usually forms covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds with other elements. It reacts with oxygen at high temperatures to form silicon dioxide, but it does not readily react with most other elements at room temperature.

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 group 1 and group 2 elements do not occur free in nature?

Group 1 and group 2 elements are reactive metals and react readily with water. They also react readily at high temperatures with oxygen. Over the millenia any free deposits would react to form compounds.


What element group does not react with other elements?

Noble gases, group 18 on the periodic table, do not react readily with other elements due to their stable and full outer electron shells. This leads to low reactivity and makes them chemically inert.


What are examples of active nonmetals?

Examples of active nonmetals include oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. These elements readily form compounds and react with other elements to gain electrons.
