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).


Which group 18 element can react with Fluorine?

No group 18 element can react with fluorine under normal conditions, as they have a stable and inert configuration with full valence shells.


Is it appropriate to refer to group viii elements as inert gases?

As long as you're referring to the rightmost group (starting with Helium) then yes, they are referred to as Noble/Inert gases.Note: Many scientists will call it group 18 instead of group 8.


Is nitrogen a noble gas?

No. It is fairly inert, but it is not noble. The noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon which are in group 18 of the periodic table of elements.


Is calcium neutral?

An inert atom or molecule does not react at all with other molecules/atoms. The only inert atoms are the noble gases, group 18 in most periodic tables. Calcium is certainly not inert; in fact, it is the third most reactive element according to the reactivity series of metals.

What is nitrogen and?

Nitrogen is a common nonmetallic element that is normally a colorless, odorless, tasteless inert diatomic gas. Sulfur is an abundant tasteless odorless multivalent nonmetallic element.


What is the best element known of the inert gases?

the last group or the 18th group of the table the helium group known as noble gases are known as inert gases


What does inert in mean?

'Inert' means that an element or compound does not (easily) react with some other material: Gold (Au), Nitrogen (N2), diamond (C), sand (SiO2) are examples.


Why is xenon located where it is on the periodic table?

Xenon is an inert element. It is placed in group-18.


How many elements are inert gases?

Six noble gases (group 18), and Nitrogen (N2) gas are all inert. They are all different elements, so: 7


What group is the element argon in?

Argon is a noble gas located in Group 18 of the periodic table.


What kind of element is air?

Air is not an element. It is a mixture of gases. It's principal components are are nitrogen (~79%), oxygen (~21%), carbon dioxide (<0.1%) and argon.


What are the category or type of helium?

helium is a noble gas / inert gas / group 18 element


Can nitrogen start fires?

No. Nitrogen is relatively inert.


What element is in light bulbs?

The bulb has a filament made up of tungsten and a low pressure inert gas (argon, neon, nitrogen).


What does group does the element neon belong to?

The element neon belong to the periodic group of noble gases, these are also called inert gasses. The element when under standard condition has no odor, no color and has a monatomic gas.
