Elements are categorized as active or inert based on their reactivity. Active elements, such as alkali metals and halogens, readily form chemical bonds and react with other substances. In contrast, inert elements, primarily the noble gases like helium and neon, have full valence electron shells, making them generally unreactive and stable. This distinction is crucial in understanding chemical behavior and interactions.
What else can I help you with?
What makes element becomes active?
An element is chemically active till it does not attain an inert gas configuration.
Is nitrogen an inert element as compare to other element of this group?
Yes. it is relatively inert.
Is polonium an inert gas?
No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
Inactive having few or no active chemicals properties?
Inert
What is the element said to be non reactive or inert?
The inert or noble gases are on the far side of the periodic table in group 18. Nitrogen is not a noble gas nor in that group. You give three choices, inert, nonreactive, and reactive. Essentially, "inert" and "nonreactive" are the same thing. Even if you didn't know the answer to this question on a test, you can automatically eliminate these choices since they are the same answer, and they both can't be correct (assuming this is multiple choice). So that leaves you with reactive, which nitrogen actually is. Most commonly, nitrogen will just react with another atom of nitrogen (triple bonded in case you're interested).
Is plutonium chemically inert?
Plutonium is not an inert chemical element, plutonium is very active.
Is carbon active or inert?
Carbon can exhibit both active and inert properties depending on the form it is in. For example, diamond is chemically inert, while carbon in the form of charcoal or activated carbon is highly reactive and can be used for various chemical processes.
What makes element becomes active?
An element is chemically active till it does not attain an inert gas configuration.
Is radon very active?
Radon is a practically inert chemical element, only some compounds are known now.
Is nitrogen an inert element as compare to other element of this group?
Yes. it is relatively inert.
Is Carbon chemically active or inert?
Covalent Bond. Chemically Active. The only elements that are inert are group 18, or 8A.
What is the term for not chemically active?
The term is "inert." Inert substances do not react chemically with other substances.
Is He a element?
Yes, Helium is a element. It is inert in nature.
Is helium an inert element?
Yes it is.
When is an element said to be chemical active?
an element is chemically active till it does not attain an inert gas configuration.
Is Xenon an inert gaseous element?
Yes, it is.
How chemiclly active is neon?
Neon is not reactive. It is inert.
