What are inert gases?
Inert gases are the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn). They used to be called the inert gases until Neil Bartlett proved that you could make compounds out of some of them, so they were renamed "inert" gases.
Why were the noble gases at one time called the inert gases?
Noble gases are gases and have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and called inert gases.
Why inert gases are gaseous in nature?
All inert gases exist as gases in nature; but today the name inert remain only traditional. The so-called noble gases has known compounds (excepting neon).
