Is argon an inert gas?
argon is an inert gas
When is an element said to be chemical active?
an element is chemically active till it does not attain an inert gas configuration.
Is chlorine inert?
Chlorine is NOT an inert gas. "Inert" means unreactive. Chlorine is a very reactive and very poisonous gas. It was used as a weapon in the First World War; it was known as Mustard Gas.
Is ammonia an inert gas?
No.
What is xenon at room temperature?
Xenon is an inert gas. Like all the inert gases, it is a gas at room temperature.
What do a beryllium ion and neon atom have in common?
The beryllium ion Be2+ has the electronic configuration 1s2, a full valence shell, the same as helium, an inert gas. Neon is an inert gas, with an electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.Be2+ and Ne therefore both have inert gas configurations and have full valence shells.
Why is a noble gas inert?
Noble gases have a stable electron configuration. So they are less reactive.
What family of elements is inert?
Noble gas family consisting of Helium, Neon, Argon,Krypton, Xenon and Radon is inert. They have stable electronic configuration and hence they are inert and non-reactive.
What happens if you replace inert gas in glass bulb of electric lamb by nitrogen gas?
inert gas inert gas inert gas
How does bonding help unstable atoms more stable?
Bonding help atoms in achieving inert gas configuration. It enhances the stabiliy.
Is argon an inert gas?
argon is an inert gas
How does bonding help unstable atoms become more stable?
Bonding help atoms in achieving inert gas configuration. It enhances the stabiliy.
What is inert argon gas?
All argon gas is inert.
What is the density of INERT gas?
That depends on what inert gas you're taling about.
When is an element said to be chemical active?
an element is chemically active till it does not attain an inert gas configuration.
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.
Is oxygen inert?
no oxygen is not a inert gas
