What elements are inert gas often made of?
Inert gases contain elements that aren't likely to chemically react. Noble gases are the best candidates, since their valence electron shell is completed and thus are really unlikely to react with another atom, but nitrogen (which isn't a noble gas) also is a good inert gas.
What is the best known radioactive element?
Probably uranium is the best known radioactive element.
What is the opposite of inert gas?
The dictionary definition opposite of "inert" is "reactive". Well, "reactive" would be the best one. ^___^"
Are inert gases and royal gases the same?
'Royal gas' is not a term used in chemistry. Perhaps you mean "noble gas", if so yes "inert gas" and "noble gas" often mean the same thing. However, oxides and fluorides of some of the "noble gasses " do exist, it might be best to think of them as "noble" rather than "inert". Xe, forms oxides.
Nobel gases are best known because they are?
unreactive
What element has properties that are similar to neon?
Any of the noble gases. Argon an Helium are the two closest in the periodic table and would be extremely similar. Neon is a noble gas (chemically inert). The noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. The best way to find elements that are similar is to look at a periodic table of elements. The elements with similar characteristics are grouped and listed in vertical columns (above or below one another).
Inert gas used?
argon -------------------------------------------- Any of the elements in column 18 of the Periodic Table, plus gasses made form some compounds (eg CO2) and some nonreactive gases such as Nitrogen could be considered as inert.
What is the inert gas that's lighter than air?
There are two problems with this question, one is that inert gas is more than one substance and the second is that so is air. Air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon and other gases. The best way to determine its mass is to take an average between these components. Next, what's an inert gas? Strictly speaking, the inert gases are the noble gases, which are the elements in group 0 of the periodic table. They are helium, neon, krypton, radon, xenon and argon. Hang on..., isn't argon in air? Helium is the lightest inert gas and as anyone who has seen a helium balloon can testify, it is lighter than air. The further down group 0 you go, towards the likes of xenon and radon, the heavier they get. From krypton onwards, they are all heavier than air except.... ... except that all of the noble gases, or the inert gases, can be found in air, in very small amounts. So in a weird way, if you're asking if inert gases are heavier than air, you're asking if they're heavier than themselves. But to put it in the simplest terms, there is more than one inert gas. Helium can be considered an example of an inert gas that is lighter than air, whereas xenon can be considered an example of one that is heavier.
Which is element is known as a girl's best friend?
Carbon
Where is neon found inside of living things?
Neon is chemically inert. It doesnt react with any other element and (to the best of my knowledge) has no role in living things. So I would comment that the element neon is not found inside living things.
Is oxygen an element compound or mixture?
its an element. It is usually encountered as O2. There are other allotropic forms the best known is O3 ozone.
What element have similar properties to those of neon?
Any of the noble gases. Argon an Helium are the two closest in the Periodic Table and would be extremely similar. Neon is a noble gas (chemically inert). The noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. The best way to find elements that are similar is to look at a periodic table of elements. The elements with similar characteristics are grouped and listed in vertical columns (above or below one another).
