Why aren't noble gases reactively ?

Chemistry

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

They are extremely unreactive, because their OUTER shell has 8 electrons (or 2 for helium) on it, meaning that it is filled to capacity. This, in turn, makes the atoms of the noble gases very stable in their electronic structure, so they are unreactive. All atoms react with others in order to achieve this stability.

Because noble gases  already have full shells of electrons therefore meaning they do not need to react to form anything.Whereas if they had 1 electron short of full shells , they would become VERY reactive.

Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

G<0, spontanteous

H<0, from equation

S>0, gas to solid

Explanation:

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid. It is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of SiO2. Water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, so it acts as a desiccant. Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. Predict the signs of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS.
