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.

NO3- will affect the pH of a solution. The ion will decrease the pH of a neutral solution. No3- ion is a conjugate base of a strong acid, therefore, if it added to a neutral solution of pH 7, it will change the pH of the solution by decreasing the pH, that is, the solution will become acidic in nature.

Which of the answer choices correctly identifies a scenario that displays evidence a chemical reaction is occurring?
tigry1 [53]
Sugar burns and turns black. A completely new substance was formed, which is the main pointer for it being a chemical reaction. More evidence would be change of color, odor, and the fact that flammability is a chemical property so setting something on fire would be a chemical change.
