The inert gases are those elements in group 18 of the periodic table; helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They are inert because their valence shells are full, so they are very unreactive. All elements are pure elements in that each element is composed of atoms with the same number of protons (atomic number).

What has an inert gas?

An inert gas will be an element. Elements are also pure substances and will not contain or "have" others within it. There are a variety of inert gases, see related question below.


What elements are inert gas often made of?

Inert gases contain elements that aren't likely to chemically react. Noble gases are the best candidates, since their valence electron shell is completed and thus are really unlikely to react with another atom, but nitrogen (which isn't a noble gas) also is a good inert gas.


Is krypton usually in a compound or in pure form?

Krypton is typically found in its pure form as a noble gas due to its inert nature and lack of reactivity with other elements. It does not readily form compounds with other elements.


Why helium is inert gas?

helium does not form bond with any other elements. hence it is an inert gas.


How does Argon combine with other elements?

it doesn't. it is inert gas.


Does argon combine with other elements?

it doesn't. it is inert gas.


Is helium used pure or is it part of a compound?

Helium is used as it is/pure. Helium is an inert gas and does not form part of compounds.


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


Is argon an inert gas?

Yes, argon is considered an inert gas because it is colorless, odorless, and does not readily react with other elements. It is commonly used in applications where a non-reactive atmosphere is needed, such as in light bulbs and welding.


What is inert argon gas?

Inert argon gas is a colorless, odorless, and non-reactive gas that is part of the noble gas group. It is often used in various applications where an inert atmosphere is required, such as in welding, incandescent lighting, and semiconductor manufacturing. Argon is chemically stable and does not easily form compounds with other elements.


What elements are used in lightbulbs?

Tungsten and an inert gas can be found inside of a light bulb.


What elements is stable A neon B carbon C boron Dfluorine?
