Why are the noble gases (group 18) inert?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]3 years ago
8 0

The noble gases are relatively unreactive because they have a stable octet of valence electrons.

Thus, they do not tend to undergo reactions in which they will gain or lose valence electrons,

However, <em>only He, Ne, and Ar are inert</em>. Kr and Xe combine with other highly reactive elements to form stable compounds.

a rock has a density of 17 g/cm3. If it is cut into 3 equal size pieces, what will be the density of each piece?
erma4kov [3.2K]
All pieces will be 17 g/cm^3 because the density is not affected by cutting (assuming the rock is uniform).

What is the percent composition of phosphoric acid (H3PO4)?
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

H3PO4 Mol mass..

= (3 x H1 = 3) + (1 x P31 = 31) + (4 x O16 = 64). = 98g/mol.

a)..Hydrogen: = 3 / 98 = 0.0306 x 100% = 3.06%.

b)..Phosphorus = 31/98 = 0.3162 x 100% = 31.63%.

c)..Oxygen = 64/98 = 0.6531 x 100% = 65.31%.

(Total = 100% H3PO4).

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of all the elements in the compound in grams per mole.

Find the molecular mass of the entire compound.

Divide the component's molar mass by the entire molecular mass.

You will now have a number between 0 and 1. Multiply it by 100% to get percent composition.
