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 block of ice has edge lengths of 8.00 cm each and a mass of 476
valkas [14]
Density is calculated as mass divided by volume. If we are given an ice cube of side length 8.00 cm, then the volume of the cube is equivalent to (8.00 cm)^3 = 512 cm^3. Since we have a given mass of 476 g, we can divide:
476 g / 512 cm^3 = 0.930 g/cm^3
So the density of the sample of ice is 0.930 g/cm^3.

denis23 [38]
Even though Hydrogen is originally in group 1, based on this property, we can say it is in group 6.

Because:

Group 6 would mean that it only needs 2 more valence electrons till the octet (8 valence electrons). This would make it reactive, yet, in normal conditions, unlike group 7.

Colt1911 [192]

Despite its appearance, air has a ‘thickness’ so when the sun is high in the sky the light travels through the air on a very much shorter path than when it is low on the horizon.

Imagine that air water and you are below the surface, the light from an overhead sun will be quite sharp and bright, but if lower in the sky it will have to travel through much more water to reach you, so will look less bright and sharp. It ma not seem the same, but the atmosphere is just like very thin water, and a low lying sun will be drastically reduced in strength, so all you will see is a sun with a shift to the red end of the spectrum as all the actinic part will be filtered away by that thicker atmosphere.
