answered-by-expert Expert Answer

An inert element has completely filled valence shell and thus has no capacity to bond to other atoms. It has 8 electrons in its valence shell and thus does not gain, lose or share any electron.  It is chemically unreactive. Examples:  Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon & Radon are unreactive.
