What are inert gases?give some examples?

Inert gases are group 18 elements

  • Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), and Radon (Rn)

  • All are gases.

  • Chemically uncreative − Hence, they are termed as noble gases.

  • Their valence electrons are completely filled.

Noble gases are sometimes called inert gases, and they are the elements in Group 18 of the periodic table. They comprise the elements helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radioactive radon, which has no known stable isotopes.
These gases are found as single atoms as they do not like to interact with other atoms on the periodic table, hence the name inert. Their outer-most electrons shells (valence shells) are completely full with eight electrons (save helium with two), which "seals the deal" and defines the chemistry of these elements (see octet rule).
There are six noble gases:

  • Helium (He)
  • Neon (Ne)
  • Argon (Ar)
  • Krypton (Kr)
  • Xenon (Xe)
  • Radon (Ra)

INERT GASES are those elements hving completely filled outermost shell, these are in 18th group of periodic table and also known by the name 'noble gases '. and 18th group is known as zero group. these gases are very less or non- reactive.

For Example- Radon, Helium, Argon, Xenon

Aninert gas(also called nobel gas )is a gas which does not undergo chemical reactions under a set of given conditions.they do not react with other elements because they neither need to gain electorons nor to donate because their outermost orbit contains 8 electrones. for example:-

  • Helium (He)
  • Neon (Ne)
  • Argon (Ar)
  • Krypton (Kr)
  • Xenon (Xe)
  • Radon (Ra)
