Question

Which of the following is not an inert gas?

A.

Argon

B.

Helium

C.

Neon

D.

Nitrogen

Correct option is D

  • The gas that is not an inert gas is Nitrogen.
  • Correct answer: (D) Nitrogen
  • Inert gases, also known as noble gases, belong to Group 18 of the periodic table and include Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. These gases have a complete outer electron shell, making them chemically non-reactive under normal conditions.
  • However, Nitrogen belongs to Group 15 and is not a noble gas. While it is relatively stable due to its strong triple bond (N≡N) in molecular form, it can still react under specific conditions, unlike noble gases.
