What is the definition of inert?
Materials that are devoid of active properties and unable or unlikely to form compounds..
Is carbon active or inert?
Carbon is an active element in Group 14. There are only a handful of elements that are inert, and they are located in Group 18.
Group 8A also referred to as Group 18 elements on the periodic table share which characteristics?
The group 18 elements, also called the noble gases, are gaseous elements, completely nonreactive, with a full, stable valence shell. They were the last elements to be discovered because they're inert.
Is helium inflammable?
No it isn't. Helium is the most perfectly inert of all the elements. It does not undergo chemical reactions of any kind, under any circumstances.
Elements least likely to react with other elements are in this column are known as?
noble gases, or inert gases they are the same thing and they are group 18 they have full valence electrons so they are unlikely to react with other elements
Why are the elements in Family 18 called inert in the periodic table?
Inert means unreactive, and most of these gases never react.
Which family is the most stable elements?
The noble gases (aka inert gases) are the most stable elements.
What are the two inert elements?
Helium and Neon are considered the two most inert elements.
What element is unreactant?
All the elements in the Inert Gases family (exc. Radon) are highly unreactive. The Inert Gases family occupies Group 18(0) of the Periodic Table. They each have 8 electrons in the outer shell. The Inert Gases Group contains;HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenonRADON
What element is colorless odorless and inert gaseous?
All of the elements in the Group 18(0) - Inert Gases family are odourless. All the elements in this family (exc. Radon) are also highly unreactive and so, are used as carriers. Elements in the Inert Gases family are:HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenonRadon
Which elements is most reactive alkali metals or alkali earth metal or carbon family or inert gases?
alkali metals
What are elements that don't react readily with other elements called?
inert
Which group on elements is consider inert?
18
What are elements that rarely combine with other elements called?
The Inert Gases of Group 0 rarely combine with other elements as they are (exc. Radon) extremely unreactive. The Inert Gases are:HeliumNeonArgonKryptonXenon(Radon)
What elements are very stable and have low reactivity?
They are called noble gases or inert elements. Belong to group 8A or 18 They are called noble gases or inert elements. Belong to group 8A or 18 They are called noble gases or inert elements. Belong to group 8A or 18
What group number are the inert gases?
Elements belonging to group 18 are termed as the inert gases.
Do inert elements gain electrons?
There is no electron exchange when no reaction takes place (this is what 'inert' means)
