Why is a noble gas inert?

Noble gases have a stable electron configuration. So they are less reactive.


Inert gas having 8 valence electrons?

mercury is an inert gas having 8 valence electrons


How does bonding help unstable atoms more stable?

Bonding help atoms in achieving inert gas configuration. It enhances the stabiliy.


How does bonding help unstable atoms become more stable?

Bonding help atoms in achieving inert gas configuration. It enhances the stabiliy.


What is the atom called if the outer shell is full of electrons?

A full outer electron shell, the so-called valence shell, creates an inert gas in those elements (the inert or noble gases). In other elements, what is called "inert gas configuration" will apear in the Halogens (the Group 17 elements) and some Group 16 elements. When they "borrow" an electron or electrons in an ionic bond, they do so to achieve "inert gas configuration" by "filling" their valence shell with the borrowed electrons.


Does Ar have a stable noble gas configuration?

No, argon (Ar) does not have a stable noble gas configuration because it is not a noble gas itself. Ar is an inert gas found in Group 18 of the periodic table, but it does not have a full valence shell like noble gases such as helium, neon, or xenon.


Why do the inert gas atoms almost never participate in covalent bonds?

Inert gases have fully filled outermost shell that is two electrons are present in helium in the outermost orbit and in case of all other inert gases its 8 electrons,therefore inert gases almost never participate in sharing of electrons for forming bonds ie.covalent bond formation


Why aren't noble gases very reactive.?

Because they have completely filled (stable, chemically inert) electronic configuration.


Is CO inert?

Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.


Why is argon an inert substance?

Argon is inert because it has a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons, making it unreactive with other elements. It does not readily gain, lose, or share electrons to form chemical bonds. This makes argon chemically non-reactive and thus commonly referred to as an inert gas.


What gas does helium falls in.?

Helium (He) is a noble (inert) gas placed in the group 18 of the Periodic Table.Helium falls in inert gas. It is stable and non-reactive.


Why is considered that the noble gas is inert gas?

because of caca and wonderful law enforcement wrote the rules and if an inert gas combines, it will be arrested. And if an inert gas tries to combine with pot, it will remain inert, and law enforcement will lock it up forever anyway.
