No....It's outer energy level is not filled and therefore it is a reactive gas. Inert gases have a filled outer shell i.e. He, Ar, Kr, etc. which are the Noble gases in the far right hand column of the Periodic Table.. VIII
Helium is a colorless gas that is commonly used to fill balloons to make them float. It is lighter than air and non-flammable, making it safe for use in balloons.
Carbon dioxide is not considered an inert gas. It is a greenhouse gas that can react chemically in certain conditions. Inert gases typically refer to gases like helium, neon, and argon, which are chemically stable and do not readily react with other substances.

Nitrogen is an unreactive gas, easy to obtain and at reasonable cost. It is not used as an inert gas, but in lieu of an inert gas, of which there are only 6, it is sufficient and cost effective.
mercury is an inert gas having 8 valence electrons
The gas is helium. Helium is inert and has 2 protons, while hydrogen has 1 proton.

Generally speaking, helium is safer, as it is an inert gas, but Hydrogen is cheaper to make and is lighter.
Argon is an inert gas, hydrogen is not. Hydrogen is flammable and would negatively impact the arc process.
Helium is the lightest inert gas. It is a monatomic gas with an average atomic weight of about 4. The only atom lighter than that is hydrogen - which forms a diatomic gas with molecular wight of about 2 - BUT - it is anything but inert! Hydrogen is highly flammable and a commonly used reactant for a lot of syntheses. The next lightest gas that is sort of inert is nitrogen - which is quite a bit heavier - at a molecular weight of about 14. (Nitrogen is not particularly reactive at room temperature so it is often used as an "inert" gas - even though it isn't really totally inert.) The next lightest noble gas is Neon - which, although it forms a monatomic gas, has an atomic wight of about 20 - even heavier than Nitrogen.
Yes, you can make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas. For example, if you run an electric current through Hydrogen and Oxygen, the product is Water, or H2O. Water is not an inert (noble) gas, so you can make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas.
Because helium (He) is lighter than air and not flammable like Hydrogen (H) which is the lightest element.
Far from it!!! When mixed with oxygen it readily ignites , Remember the 'pop' test in the lab. for testing for hydrogen. However, the next element on the peridoci table , which is helium (He) is the most inert elememnt of all. The classic demonstration in the lab. is to have two balloons. one filled with hydrogen and one filled with helium. Put a lighted(burning) taper to the hydrogen balloon and it will explode, with a flame flash Put a lighted(burning) taper to the helium balloon and it will explode but no flame flash.
No. It"s an inert gas,inert gases do not form compounds. Reactive gases(like Hydrogen ) do, like H-2-O or Hydrogen-Di-Oxide-better known as water.
Because hydrogen is reactive and combines with oxygen, while helium is inert.
Hydrogen is not inert it reacts explosively with Oxygen to create water H2O
Hydrogen is used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography because it has good thermal conductivity, low density, and high diffusivity. This allows for high separation efficiency and faster analysis times. Additionally, hydrogen is inert and compatible with most detectors used in gas chromatography.
