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).

What periodic table group has elements that are all gases at stp?

Periodic Group 18(0) has all gaseous elements in it, commonly known as the noble, or inert gases.


Why are inert gases occur in atomic form?

Inert gases, also known as noble gases, occur in atomic form because they have a complete valence electron shell, making them chemically stable and unreactive. This full outer shell configuration means they do not readily form bonds with other atoms, leading to their existence as isolated atoms rather than molecules. As a result, they are found in nature primarily as single atoms in the gaseous state.


What is another word for chemically nonreactive?

inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases


What are the only elements in that exist you nature as isolated atoms?

Helium, neon, and argon are the only elements that exist in nature as isolated atoms, due to their stable electronic configurations that do not readily form chemical bonds with other elements. These elements are known as noble gases for their inert nature.


Where do inert gas found in nature?

Inert gases exist in the atmosphere; helium exist also in metane and some rocks.

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.


Can inert gases be stored with oxidizing gases?

No, inert gases should not be stored with oxidizing gases. Inert gases like nitrogen or argon are used to displace oxygen in storage containers to prevent combustion or oxidation reactions. Storing them with oxidizing gases could lead to potential fire or explosion hazards.
