Question

Answer 1

Answer:

inert gases or noble gases fo not go under chemical reactions easily. ie they dont react gradually.

Answer 2

An inert gas is a gas that does not undergo chemical reactions under a set of given conditions. The noble gases often do not react with many substancesand were historically referred to as the inert gases. Inert gases are used generally to avoid unwanted chemical reactions degrading a sample. These undesirable chemical reactions are often oxidation and hydrolysis reactions with the oxygen and moisture in air. The term inert gas is context-dependent because several of the noble gases can be made to react under certain conditions.
