Argon has completely filled valence orbitals and hence is unreactive.

Sodium has one valence electron. If sodium loses this electron it will attain the stable electron configuration of the nearest noble gas (argon) and hence is reactive.

What happens when you mix argon and sodium?

When argon and sodium are mixed, they do not react chemically because argon is an inert gas and sodium is a highly reactive metal. The two substances would essentially remain separate in the mixture.


Is argon more reactive than oxygen?

No, argon is not more reactive than oxygen. In fact, argon is a noble gas and is very non-reactive, while oxygen is a highly reactive element that readily participates in chemical reactions.

Which is more reactive chlorine or argon?

Argon is chemically inert due to the presence of filled orbitals. Chlorine is highly reactive as it requires one more electron to gain octet.


Is Na neon helium or argon or SODIUM?

Na represents the chemical element sodium. Neon, helium, and argon are other elements on the periodic table. Sodium is a reactive metal commonly found in salt compounds.

What is the most reactive element out of sodium neon argon and krypton?

Sodium. Neon, Argon, and Krypton are all inert gases. They don't react with pretty much anything. However, if you put a piece of sodium metal in water, it practically explodes, that's how reactive it is. Mainly because all it has in it's outermost electron shell is one electron, and so it wants to lose that one in order to be stable.


Is argon or magnesium more reactive with oxygen?

Argon is a Non-Reactive Element. Magnesium is a very Reactive Element. Magnesium will react violently when ignited in an Oxygen rich environment.


What is he element is found in the same period as sulfur and argon and that is more reactive than sulfur and argon?

The element found in the same period as sulfur and argon, and more reactive than both, is chlorine. Chlorine is a highly reactive nonmetal that belongs to the same period (or row) as sulfur and argon on the periodic table.
