Question

In the periodic table, helium, neon and argon are commonly called noble gases because

A. They are highly reactive
B. They are inert
C. They are metals
D. They formed basic oxides

Answer 1

B, they are inert.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Noble Gases are well-known for being highly unreactive. Meaning, they don't react much at all when combined with other compounds, making them inert, which means unreactive.

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

B. They are inert

Step-by-step explanation:

In the periodic table, helium, neon and argon are commonly called noble gases because they are inert gas, they don't reacts with any elements and they have no valance electrons in their atom.

For example:

Helium: 2

Neon: 2,8

Argon: 2,8,8

So, it is truly that they are inert gas.

Hence,

B. They are inert

(B) is the correct answer.
