The noble gases make up a class of chemical elements with similar properties; under standard conditions, they are all odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity. The six naturally occurring noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and the radioactive radon

Answer:

Inert gases:

  • An inert gas is a gas that is unreactive in its environment. The noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon) are considered inert in most applications. Argon is the cheapest noble gas and thus the most frequently used. In applications insensitive to chemical reactions with nitrogen, even nitrogen gas (N2) may be used as inert gas.
