Open in App
Solution

  • Most Group 8 or 18 elements that appear in the last column of the periodic table (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon) are classified as inert (or unreactive).
  • These elements are stable in their naturally occurring form (gaseous form) and they are called inert gases.
