Answer:

Name an inert diatomic gas which is neither combustible nor helps in combustion?

A. Carbon Dioxide

B. Hydrogen

C. Nitrogen

D. None of the above

C.) NITROGEN

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (B) Nitrogen

Explanation:

Nitrogen gas is not highly reactive hence it does not support combustion with other molecules in the atmosphere and is mainly present in air as N2 (78%). Most of the Earth atmosphere is made of Nitrogen gas as it is inert and highly stable.

Unreactive behavior results from the powerful triple bonds that form between the three pairs of electrons shared between two nitrogen atoms.

These bonds have relatively short radii, which requires more energy to break.

Nitrogen becomes more reactive at higher temperatures. One common nitrogen-based reaction that occurs in the atmosphere is the formation of NO, nitrogen oxide, during storms when lightning strikes.

That's why Nitrogen gas neither combustible nor helps in combustion.
