In chemistry the Inert Group are the Noble Gases.

So called be cause they do not react with anything.

The gases are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon.

Are halogens inert gases?

No. halogens are not inert gases. Halogens are group 17 elements. Inert gases or noble gases are the group 18 elements Helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn) are the six inert gases.


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.


What is nonreactive gases?

Nonreactive gases are gases that do not easily undergo chemical reactions with other substances. Examples include noble gases like helium, neon, and argon, as well as diatomic molecules like nitrogen and oxygen in their elemental forms. These gases are often used in inert environments or as protective atmospheres in various industrial processes.


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).


What are the nobel gasses also called?

Noble gases are also called inert gases because they tend to be chemically nonreactive due to their stable electron configurations.

What is the name of the group of nonreactive non metals that includes argon?

it is group 18 and is part of the non-metals.


Group 8A also referred to as Group 18 elements on the periodic table share which characteristics?

The group 18 elements, also called the noble gases, are gaseous elements, completely nonreactive, with a full, stable valence shell. They were the last elements to be discovered because they're inert.


The noble gases are almost completely nonreactive for this reason they are sometimes called?

Inert Gases

Is argon reactive or nonreactive nonmetal?

Because it is a noble gas, it is no reactive, as all its electron shells are filled.

Elements belonging to group 18 are termed as the inert gases.


Is the element xenon a metal or non metal?

Xenon is a nonmetal. It is a noble gas located in group 18 of the periodic table. It is known for being inert and having a full valence shell of electrons, making it stable and nonreactive.


What is the name of the groups of elements that are particularly nonreactive?

Noble gases. Group 18. ;]
