Sugar and water are made with tiny particles. They are both made from molecules and atoms.
The kinetic energy of an object increases when heat is added.
Protons, the number of protons cannot change or the element will change as well.
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.
