Carbon is chemically unreactive because it has a stable electronic configuration with four valence electrons, allowing it to form strong covalent bonds with other carbon atoms. This stability makes it less likely to readily react with other elements.

Covalent Bond. Chemically Active. The only elements that are inert are group 18, or 8A.


Why neon highly reactive?

neon has completely filled energy levels and hence is generally chemically inert (or unreactive).


What elements can be found in elemental form uncombined with other elements on earth?

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.


Carbon dioxide and nitrogen?

Fairly unreactive gases. Air with the oxygen taken out.
