A helium atom is chemically unreactive due to its stable electronic configuration with a full outer shell of electrons.
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
Noble gases tend to be chemically unreactive due to their full outer electron shells, making them stable and less likely to form compounds with other elements.
Alkanes are not very reactive because of the stability of their bonds. The carbon hydrogen bonds found in alkanes are virtually nonpolar. Also, carbon and hydrogen have no lone pairs of electrons. This means that they are not subject to attack by nucleophiles or electrophiles.
The unreactive gas in the second period is neon (Ne). It belongs to the noble gas group on the periodic table and is known for being chemically inert and not readily forming compounds with other elements.
No. Lithium is highly reactive.
Neon is chemically unreactive and stable
A helium atom is chemically unreactive due to its stable electronic configuration with a full outer shell of electrons.
No. argon is chemically unreactive due to the presence of completely filled orbitals.
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
It is unreactive.
Noble gases tend to be chemically unreactive due to their full outer electron shells, making them stable and less likely to form compounds with other elements.
The noble gases are almost chemically unreactive and they are located in group 18 of the periodic table.
Covalent Bond. Chemically Active. The only elements that are inert are group 18, or 8A.
neon has completely filled energy levels and hence is generally chemically inert (or unreactive).
Highly unreactive elements that will not chemically combine include: Platinum (Pt) Gold (Au) Helium (He) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Xe) Neon (Ne) The first two are unreactive because they are at the bottom of the metals reactivity series. The rest are unreactive because they are part of the inert gases.
Fairly unreactive gases. Air with the oxygen taken out.
