<span>Higher energy = shorter wavelength
Frequency is one cycle over an amount of time (seconds)
So higher frequency = higher energy = shorter wavelength</span>

Answer:
B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.
Explanation:
Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.
Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.
After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
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.
