You may be referring to the Noble Gases, but they certainly are not inert as there have been several Noble Gas compounds made. The Noble Gases refer to group 18 of the Periodic Table. All of the gases are colorless, tasteless, and odorless in their native form and under standard conditions. However, when electricity is passed through them within a gas discharge tube the gas particles give off light. In gas discharge tubes, a current will disassociate electrons from the gas molecules, creating ions, and when electrons recombine with the ions, different lighting effects are created. The light will be characteristic of the material contained within the tube and will be composed of one or more narrow spectral lines. In this case:
- Helium: Light yellow to orange.
- Neon: Reddish-orange.
- Argon: Purple to pale lavender blue.
- Krypton: Lime green. At high peak currents, bright blue-white.
- Xenon: Turquoise light blue. At high peak currents, very bright green-blue.
- Radon: Deep red. Not used as a luminescent gas due to radioactivity.
The colorless inert gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
Helium (He)
Neon(Ne)
Argon(Ar)
Krypton(Kr)
Xenon(Xe)
Radon(Rn)

What are some other names for Noble gases?
Another name for noble gases is inert gases.
What elements are inert gases?
Inert gases, or noble gases, make up the 18th column on the periodic table. The names of the gases (in order from top to bottom) are: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon.
If the gas is colorless what are all of the possible substances it could be?
If its a pure elemnt O2, N2, and all of the inert gases Th list is very long for gases that are compounds, for example CO2, CO, all of the alkanes, alkenes and alkynes that are gases.
What are the two names for group 18 elements?
Elements of Group 18 may be called as;1-Noble gases 2-Rare gases 3- Inert gases
Noble gases are inert gases true or false?
TRUE (apex)
Inert gases names starting with x?
Xenon
What are some other names for Noble gases?
Another name for noble gases is inert gases.
What is another word for chemically nonreactive?
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" 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.
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.
What are substances with which argon combines with?
Argon is one of the Noble Gases, so it is inert, meaning it has a full outer shell and therefore never combines with any other element. The noble gases are also called the inert gases. The six noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They are members of group 18 of the periodic table (right side). They are odorless, colorless gases
What are some other names for noble?
Noble gases are also known as, 1- inert gases 2- rare gases 3- monoatomic gases 4- zero group elements.
What are the two names for group 18 elements?
Elements of Group 18 may be called as;1-Noble gases 2-Rare gases 3- Inert gases
What is the percentage of inert gases the atmosphere?
there is 1.25 percent of inert gases in the atmosphere
Is neon a part of the noble gases family or the inert gases family?
Yes. Neon is a part of noble gases (or inert gases)
