Chemical inertness refers to the resistance of a substance to engage in chemical reactions under a set of given conditions, often due to a stable electron configuration. This property is exemplified by noble gases, which have a complete valence electron shell, making them largely nonreactive with other elements or compounds.

Chemical Inertness

Chemical inertness

Substance resistance

Chemical reactions involve the transformation of substances through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, resulting in the conversion of reactants into products. These reactions are governed by the principles of thermodynamics and kinetics, which dictate the feasibility and rate of these transformations.

stable electron configuration

Noble gases are a group of inert, non-reactive elements found in Group 18 of the periodic table, characterized by their complete valence electron shells. This stability makes them valuable for a variety of applications, including lighting, welding, and as protective atmospheres in chemical reactions.
