Alkanes are not very reactive because of the stability of their bonds. The carbon hydrogen bonds found in alkanes are virtually nonpolar. Also, carbon and hydrogen have no lone pairs of electrons. This means that they are not subject to attack by nucleophiles or electrophiles.
Alkanes are chemically inert because alkanes contain four sigma bonds and sigma bonds require greater amount of energy for breakin so alkanes are chemically inert at room temperature but reactive at high temperature
They are chemically inert due to the absence of pi bonds and polarity.
yes argon is chemically inert because its valence shell is complete.
Gold is active, or at least not inert. Only the noble gases are inert.
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
Xenon is chemically inert. So it is not flammable
Argon is a noble gas. It has completely filled valence orbitals, is stable and hence chemically inert.
yes argon is chemically inert because its valence shell is complete.
Covalent Bond. Chemically Active. The only elements that are inert are group 18, or 8A.
Noble gases are chemically inert. They have completely filled orbitals, hence are generally non-reactive (or chemically inert).
no
inert
Unstable isotopes can be chemically reactive.
Gold is active, or at least not inert. Only the noble gases are inert.

No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
Plutonium is not an inert chemical element, plutonium is very active.
No, helium is chemically inert
No. helium is chemically inert
