What Are Inert Elements?
Asked by | 24th Oct, 2013, 12:49: PM
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.
